What can't people just grow old gracefully?
Some of us choose to delay the decay brought about by aging for as long as possible. We want to be healthy and fit right up to the end. What's graceful about losing your fitness and health earlier than you absolutely have to? It's far more graceful to maintain athletic ability than it is to hobble around with a walker, wondering how you will handle your next ailment. IMO, "Aging gracefully" sounds like an excuse to not exercise strenuously enough.
