On Getting Old

We grow older every day. But when do we truly turn old? There's no number that delineates middle age from old age. Each of us takes a different journey. In this video, SeniorLiving.org Editor-in-Chief Jeff Hoyt explains how he knew he had turned old.

Time Stamps
0:00 How old is a senior?
0:50 My body and the game "Operation"
1:05 Running every day to stay fit
1:33 When Father Time caught me
2:02 Stopping a daily activity I enjoyed due to aging
2:29 Every attempt to exercise caused pain
2:54 I knew I was old when my body couldn't handle rest
3:21 I was able to run again, but with limitations
3:44 I'm too old to do everything I used to do



Age ain't nothing but a number. We all turn old, except for those of us who meet an early end. But do you know when you turn old? Is it when you can't do something you used to do, or when you don't want to do something you used to do, or something completely different?

In this video, SeniorLiving.org Editor-in-Chief Jeff Hoyt reveals how he knew he was getting old when his body wouldn't let him do what it used to do. One day, the ability was there, and the next day, it was gone. Hoyt explains how he fought his way back from pain, and how to frame feeling old.
