As the old saying Goes:  "Use it or Loose It"
As I went into the 70's I slowed down a bit. I worked with a fella 5
years older then I was at the local Railroad Museum for 10 years or so.
I worked as a tool runner and general flunkie and he was a Square
Dancer. He could run circles arroung me on anything like work.
