At the ripe age of 36, you begin to realize that your body is not what it used to be, or even capable of activities that were easily achieved in one's youth. For many, this idea is more than they can handle. I am also one of those individuals, since I have been very active my entire life. I used to run marathons, swim multiple times during the week, and even rock climb when the opportunity presented itself. While I still try to climb as much as possible, the effects of such an exhaustive sport can leave me with a severe amount of muscle pain for a number of days afterwards.
