Do You Have More Or Less Energy Than 10 Year Ago?

My energy levels are pretty good right now. We started running just over a year ago and I could hardly stagger up the road. Now I can run for 45 minutes and more . I started using a workout program on my p.c last year and it really helped give me a boost too. I discovered that I wasn't drinking enough liquids and that has helped a lot. I used to cycle to work too and my trusty bike lives in our shed still.

I find that I have more energy at 62 than I did twenty years ago. The difference between my lifestyle today and my lifestyle then is that I eat healthy nourishing food instead of junk and I exercise religiously for an hour a day six days a week. I'm lucky that I don't have many health issues at this point in my life. Feel better. Best of luck to you.

I have less energy down to my Health and it saddens me in a sense still to this Day as I was always an active Person, work, Children and a House to keep kept me going and I loved it I was always on the Go Now I can do my Housework bit by bit then rest for an Hour and then do a bit more I hate it as I would just like to do it like I always did, get on with it and get it done but not possible So I certainly have a lot less energy then 10 years ago

energy? what is energy? I have to say that 10 years ago, I had about the same amount - not much, but 20 years ago, I had a lot more! But its also when I hurt my feet - and that really knocked me off them

Less, my health, my age, somewhat my weight, but mainly my physical condition. Can I take a nap now?

Hi Janey, I am 40 now and looking back in my 30's i can see some difference. i am more active then as it relates to any physical activities. that's why now i am into gym to keep me up and stay fit.

Oh, definitely. And I don't think it's just because I'm 10 years older, either. A lot has to do with what I've been through in those 10 years, which has impacted on my health.

Is the road more than dangerous? Not good for biking then.. I think so too.. I have lesser energy than 10 years ago. 10 years ago, I think I'm able to carry bricks even, LOL. Not to say that I'm too old now, but age is surely catching up fast. I wish I have half of the energy I used to have years back. Exercise might help. Question is, when to start..

Well my back issues prevent me doing a heck of a lot, the stuff I did regularly before it struck a few years ago, such as cycling, weight training and running. In many ways I put it down to this that these days my over all health has suffered because I can no longer do the physical activity I use to do. So as such most days my energy levels are pretty low because I can’t have a normal active day to get my energy up to a decent and proper level. I am sure that if my back didn’t restrict me then I would not only get back to a normal active life but also regain my energy levels. Although I could always just make an excuse and say it’s old age instead.

About the same to be honest with you. Of course, when you are younger, it really is kind of harder to tell exactly how much energy you have gained or lost. Maybe a little less, maybe a little more, but the levels just seem about the same. Then again, I really do not remember much about my life ten years ago. Still, as we grow older, I think those ten year gaps seem a lot longer. Going from the fifties into the sixties that would be quite the interesting comparison. At this stage of my life, it is really hard to tell. Like I said, it is pretty much the same. Perhaps a bit different in either direction, but mostly the same.

its not very much related to getting older.. but may be it is.. i think i am loosing my energy everyday ever since i passed my adolescence.. study, ranking system, admission dilemma, career prospect, campus job, hiring and firing, family expectations, ambition.. all that requires energy and lot of it.. but not in a form of iron tablet i guess. i am not yest mentioning deteriorating surroundings, pollution in everything.. i also believe that there must be a way to keep your energy level up, in other words, being happy and cheerful.. but i still need to figure it out.

I think I have more energy than 10 years ago. I do not feel fatigued by evenings as I used to earlier but that could also be due to the fact that I was working much harder then now; it is much easier now and then I also nap in the after noons these days, not much but about 30 minutes and that probably refreshes me. Yes some knee & hamstring problems have cropped up in one leg but do not hinder doing what I want, except that I cannot sit cross-legged which used to be my most comfortable sitting position!!

As age catches up, I have lesser energy. 10 years ago, I could run a marathon wihout any problems. But 10 years later, I can't even complete a 10km run! My fitness has been on the downhill, and I am trying hard to maintain good health by eating right and exercise.

i woould prefer to have more money then i did 10 years ago

although i weigh less than i did 10 years ago, i dont have the same amount of energy that i did back then. i have a lot of knee issues and other health issues that cause my energy to be not that high.

As time goes by, I have less energy than before. Last time when we went to climb the mountain, I felt so tired. And I had to take a break when we climbed the mountain. I thought I was not good at it like before. I love China

I've been watching Olympic hockey, and can't help being impressed with the boundless energy of the players! I'm 76 with no thought of retirement, but with every passing year I feel my energy reserves slipping. My work consists of the comfort, and care of 400 colonies of honey bees. The bees work all summer, but they are confined to their hives in the winter. This gives me a nice break! My excellent health is due to a careful diet, and a Yoga workout 6 mornings each week.

I will be fifty this year. I have much more energy than I had ten years ago. Actually last year I started running and am presently training for a half marathon in April. I also take TaeKwonDo classes.

Hello, Janey. Have you been tested for Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis, because both of those can cause tiredness for no apparent reason, long before other symptoms show up. I have RA, Lupus and Osteoarthritis, but since I've moved to Spain, I have lots more energy. Ten years ago I wasn't very mobile at all, and 15 years ago, when I was first diagnosed and they were trying to stabilise my condition, I was virtually housebound for a year. We live near Torrevieja, and the salt lakes in the area means the humidity is very low. This climate is the best in the world for people with joint problems and breathing difficulties. And that doesn't come from the Torrevieja tourist board, but the World Health Organisation. We've been here two years, and while I'l always have to take some drigs to control the condition, I hardly ever touch painkillers these days, and I am much more active than I was in England. We lived in Cornwall, which was very beautiful, but too damp for my poor joints.

I have less energy than I did 10 years ago. Ten years ago I was working full-time (50 to 100 hours a week) managing the environmental program for the largest test range in the U. S.; I also supervised 25 environmental scientists and engineers. I retired in 2006. At first I slept, trying to catch up, I guess, for all the years of 4 and 5 hours of sleep I use to get. Then, I began all the projects I wanted to do around the house (landscaping my new home, gardening, etc.). I've accomplished all but one project; fix the tile inside and outside the house. But this winter, I ran out of projects and/or I don't seem to have energy to do anything. I've started applying for part-time work, thinking that may give me some energy back. Maybe, I've just gotten lazy. (I sold my bike three months ago. It was too hard to ride on my rock road. And I haven't taken up walking, which I know I should...). I'll start walking tomorrow...
