But, by the time you hit 20-40, you have already done a ton of aging?

Fair that I don't expect to be as strong in my 60s as I am now. Or when I hit 70+. If I get that far. Light weight training is plenty to get to be in good physical shape, though? Get to where you can do 10-30 pushups and run a continuous mile, and you are probably doing fine?

But why would you not want to beat aging in a medical sense? I don't really understand your logic here.

    But this gets to my question, essentially? Is "aging for the elderly" different than "aging for the middle aged?"

    So, what does it mean to "beat aging in a medical sense?" If it is just definitionally to not have any of the bad effects of aging, then sure. Of course I would want that. What are the names for the good things that are generally along for the ride with aging?

    Going back to my earlier quip, if you could turn off aging for babies/toddlers, how would that be a good thing?
