“The Inertia of Aging”

Inertia has long been an understood reality of physics. From our school physical-science courses, we know the concept of inertia as: A body at rest or in motion will stay at rest or in motion until acted upon by an external force.

The aging population is a multifaceted and compounding problem of literal and figurative inertia. We hear it again and again: “I’m too old, I can’t do that any more,” “I’m too old to start exercising,” “I’m too far gone to get better,” “I was never good at sports,” etc., are given as the rationale for living life on the couch. The elderly are conditioned to accept physical decay and limitation of mobility.

But everyone can move and everyone can exercise — regardless of age or limitation.
