don't use it and you'll lose it.
The knowledge is still up there in my noggin of course, but the muscle-memory fades.
Now that my kids are starting to get to the age where they understand things better, I find sayings like those two coming out of my mouth more and more when I talk with them about things. It's kind of funny.
Anyway, that's great that you can make the time to get your skills back up. That's a lot of shooting.
I try to stretch all my skills to keep them good, but one that I have recently been reminded that I've let fade is resistance exercise. The last time I lifted weights was back in college. I was pretty good at it, working up to weights that few people were doing at the gym. But now it's probably been 25 years since I've lifted anything. Body building isn't important to me anymore, but I think it is increasingly important to keep our muscles exercised as we age. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get it back into my life.
Cliché sayings of course, but I'm a simple man so keep things simple.
Hmm, the weights/gym thing...Most people could probably say they need to do more, myself included. I do some, more than most I guess, but nowhere near as much as I probably should. It's not important to me from a looks perspective, but from a health perspective it's quite important as you say, as we age. I have a very busy life, but would like to make more time for it. I'm going to go with another cliché...I'll do more one day!
haha I use that one too 😃
One I rather like is when Arnold says "You don't have time, huh? Well, sleep faster and make time." That's a funny line. Sleep faster. I also find myself using that with my kids sometimes.
Anyway, yeah, I'm trying to make more time for it too. I try to add some kind of improvement everyday in my path towards that, even if it's just a small one. I suppose that's kind of like kaizen, that Japanese word for constant improvement that Toyota made famous, but I don't really think if it as any kind of system, just more like it's easier to make progress if we are doing something.
Continual improvement is something I have worked towards in place of other things for many years and I've achieved some incredible results from doing so. I'd say you're on the right track.
Anyway, it's easy...just sleep faster. 🫣🤐
