Exercise in older age is high on the agenda, but the idea that with age comes bags of time and a desire to \u2018get out there\u2019 isn\u2019t true for a lot of us. How do you juggle exercise around caring for partners, grandchildren or staying in work? What if you haven\u2019t exercised for years? What can your body take, and how has it changed with age? James Gallagher hears how octogenarian athlete \u2018Irongran\u2019 keeps going, he explores the mental and physical barriers that stop us exercising, and he finds out what he might feel like in 40 years as he pulls on an ageing suit.
