Age is a philosophical concept. More and more from the new press I come across nostalgic notes of famous presenters, newspaper journalists and other creative personalities.

But recently the most banal incident happened. I recently met with school friends. This year we have 10 years since the end of the 11th grade. I suggested upgrading the "muscle memory" on the boxing feet.

However, friends felt that they were too old for boxing. Even for practicing movements on the paws, which strengthens the SHOV, improves breathing, this is especially true in the period after the pandemic. When I explained that I was a year and six months older than them, even this fact did not console them
