Get a second opinion. Something doesn't sound kosher.

People our age are capable of a lot. I am an ex power lifter who was able to hoist 315 overhead at 68 years of age and I did that sitting down because I had a sore knee. Last month I completed a 100 Km bicycle ride. Now ImKaren, buy yourself some workout duds, join a gym and have at it. Never compete with anyone other than…
