re: at what age did you have to cut back on your workouts

If we are just talking about lifting routines, then more than slowing down I lift SMARTER and actually follow a program now. So while my volume, and workout lengths have decreased, overall I still keep up fine. Again its way less volume, but being smarter and recognizing how much rest and recovery matters.
As for other areas such as endurance, stamina, speed, agility, definitely early to mid 30s is where the slow down starts to happen. In my 20s I could play basketball/flag football/volleyball events, tournaments, etc. all day and feel fine the next day. Now in my 40s I need 2 full recovery days if I do any of that.
This was also the point where I couldn't even pull of scaled-down versions HS and college track workouts.
