Yes, You Can Start Exercising After 50 (Even as a Beginner)

The big 5-0 rolls around and you start grappling with your own mortality. You wonder about your place in the world and how long you have left. Sure, 50 is just another number, but it's a number that society has placed a large bolus of meaning. For better or worse, whether it's real or not, turning 50 makes you re-evaluate everything.
