I do powerlifting and kettlebell sport aka (fluid style kettlebell lifting.) I have also been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis which is genetic but it is important to lift. I might not be able to squat 250 lbs anymore, but i can still squat 200 lbs. It's important to keep strength levels up as we age. In my opinion it isn't obesity that makes life hard, it's being frail. I also have some wacked knees and ankles. Not from lifting but from years of running. This is why I turned to kettlebells. If you do kettlebells right and find a great teacher ( I recommend an instructor with SFG, RKC for hardstyle or IKFF, OKC, ICE CHAMBER , WKC for fluid style) it's EASY on your joints. AS someone who has Rheumatoid arthritis, this is important for me. https://youtu.be/l7hA3lwG-sg
