All I did was ten squats, no weight.

From 19 to 50 I was a lean, hard bodied, gym rat. Now I'm 65 and skinny-fat. The only exercise I get is dancing on the weekends. I never go to the gym. So one day, while watching TV, I decided I should get more exercise. I stood up, and did two sets of ten squats. Squats that were nice, deep, and perfect in form.

Let me tell you, the next morning I thought I had sciatica. Every time I went to stand, my butt cramped up like a mobster had me tethered to a car battery. After a few failed attempts I was standing. But my plight was far from over. Now I had to make it to the bathroom. I'll be honest. I thought about just peeing where I stood. Realizing that cleaning up involved more walking than making it to the toilet, I dismissed that plan. I started walking in small, slow, deliberate steps. By the time I made it to the bathroom, I was finally walking pretty well.

And that's how I realized I'm not only way out of shape, but I'm a far cry from 30.
