I built myself a home gym and at 64 I'm probably in the best shape of my life since I gave up playing sport in my late thirties. I've just changed my workout from a fitness base to a body building workout for the winter.
We have a gym in the office, which is in the same building as my flat - I've only just started using it since I started carnivore (and then not often enough) and a bit more since starting teh boxing training.
I regret not using it before, but better late than never.
I have more discipline when I've got a target to aim for.
I have a small dog 
Yeah, been thereThat reminds me of when I had mine checked. The Dr said he was going to perform a ‘digital prostate exam’; which I was fine with because digital means something electronic right. Wrong!

Try a thrombosed pile for fun ...Yeah, been there
That's exactly what happened.
Only if you play it with your arse.
Is that what they mean by "hitting a bum note"?
Annual check ups at the Drs, where they take blood and send it away for numerous tests including psa levels. Think of it as an MOT for your body.
My nephew died suddenly last week aged 39.
He was a Telecom Engineer mostly working outside, and felt chest pains which he told a colleague was "like no other pain I've ever felt".
He was assisted to the local GP Surgery and was told to go to the Blackburn Hospital, but there was at least a 2 hour wait for an Ambulance - no Doctor was available to see him at the Surgery.
His colleague took him to A & E, and he was told it could take 4 hours to be seen.
He phoned his father (my Brother-in-Law) who went to the Hospital, and at his request, took him to his home (he lives alone).
He wasn't answering his phone the next morning, so his father went round and found him dead on the floor.
He has now had an Autopsy/Scan, and his parents told that he had heart disease and suffered a fatal heart attack.
He smoked since he was 16, didn't exercise and ate junk food, but wasn't overweight and didn't touch alcohol or drugs.
His funeral is in two weeks.
