At the age of 50, the doc gave me the at your age” speech and warned this nerd to stop lifting heavy weights. I ignored him. Five years later, this nerd learned the hard way what the doc was trying to warn me about. Now, years later, this nerd enjoys (suffers) the rewards of lifting heavy weights over the years.

Not many, I've only been doing it for a year.  
I can do most common standing balance & strength poses (half moon, warrior 3 etc.).  Most of the stretching poses are easy (because I've been stretching for a long time; I'm already flexible).  

oh I mean calisthenics skills not yoga

I stopped after perfecting the Wuxi Finger Hold from the Third Dynasty. You do know the hardest part. Well doo-yah?

Just don’t take the fifth step, you’ll be fine.

Yeah, until you end up facing Bill “Superfoot” Wallace!
