Hi Kata. I'm sure glad to meet another 54 year old woman, who I can share my experiences with. Not that these younger woman don't inspire me, they do. But I have found that things are just a bit different for me, once I got past 50. Like, recovery time takes longer, creaky knees, stiff hip flexors, shoulder impairment, a bit of arthritis (in my hands, effecting my grip, I'm going to get some straps for DL's) and like you said, an aging body IS like an old car! But it's great not having to deal with hormonal issues or my periods anymore.
I have also joined the challenge, to keep myself accountable. And don't think you are a klutz. I can't even balance myself sitting on a swiss ball, never mind trying to do crunches or anything else! You are far more advanced than I am! Well, good luck, and see you around the forums.
