Ignore your in laws and keep 'staying fit'! IANAD but all the health stuff I've read suggests that being cardio fit and having more muscle mass is generally indicative of a longer and better quality life span. You just need to be mindful of how much longer it takes to heal be a bit more boring and sensible about what you do.

At the same time, my inlaws are basically calling me childish for staying fit “at your age” and that I should be cultivating some diabetes and maybe some leg ulcers.
So I’m at a crossroads
