I retired about a year ago at age 58 and my plan along was to do a part-time summer only job. I also wanted a job that consisted of some physical labor for the benefit of keeping my body in tune. Well last summer I found the perfect job and was asked back this summer as well. I started a few weeks ago and I can tell I'm not that good of shape. I hike hundreds of miles a year in back country so leg strength is fair good.
The job is working on a Ag experimental station. I help plant and take care of the grounds and will hoe, till and harvest plots and is done with a lot of manual labor. I love it but man I ache from the work.
My question is do you think some of the muscle aches etc. comes with age or am I just that bad of shape. I'm not over weight and consider myself pretty good shape but really haven't done a lot of labor work in the last 15 years do to my job I had. Lol
