Скачать или смотреть How to Stay Fit After Fifty: Bill Fleckenstein at the Seattle Tennis Club

It can be challenging to stay fit after fifty. Bill Fleckenstein explains how tennis helps him stay in shape while still having fun. Multiple aspects about tennis make it fun for Bill, including the competitive aspect. But it can also be therapeutic to hit a ball against the wall solo, much like golfers often enjoy going to the driving range.

According to Bill, it's essential to have some sort of exercise routine in place by the time you approach your mid-40s so you're strong enough to continue regular physical activity. "If I hadn't started doing Crossfit about 7 years ago, I'm sure I couldn't play tennis, and enough things would have broken down that I'd just be a couch potato."

For Bill, it's been important to stay fit, especially after having both knees replaced about 18 months before filming this video. As Bill puts it, "it's mandatory to stay fit."
