[quote=Anonymous]I started working out in my late 20s and I haven't really stopped since (just turned 50). I've done a variety of things over the past 20+ years - aerobic classes, running, weights, bootcamps, etc. I'm in the best shape of my life right now - much stronger and faster than I was in my 20s and 30s. For me, the key has been consistency; I have not stopped in all these years, even through 3 pregnancies. I have never taken any substantial time 'off' other than the mandatory 6 weeks post-partum (although I definitely started walking a good deal as soon as possible).  I have found ways to fit exercise in, even when it hasn't been the *best* workout.  So, during my pre-kids days, I could workout during the day, or in the evening. Then, I switched to early morning. Now I do a combo. I love what being fit does for my body, but I especially value the mental benefits. Too many of my friends and loved ones start something, but then stop. Get in a pattern and take one day at a time. Don't quit! [/quote]
