I have recently taken up kickboxing and am thoroughly enjoying it. Having crossed over to the tail end of 50, I now seek out new ways to move my body and push myself to learn new things. Kinetic activity is also not my natural comfort zone, so doing something that is inherently uncomfortable is serving the benefit of creating new neuropathways in my aging brain.
Not to mention, with all of the deep dives I do into the dirty world of politics, punching and kicking a bag is a wonderful antidote to screaming into the void.
