[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to change the way you exercise.  Cut way back on the cardio and start lifting heavy.  Up your protein intake and cut the carbs way down.  I've had the weight gain too and am finally getting a handle on it.  I lost 20lbs at 46 and starting around 52 the weight started to shift and I've gained a lot of it back.

There are lots of books about these changes.  I highly recommend NEXT LEVEL by Dr. Stacy Simms and Selene Yeager. The book is geared towards serious marathoners/triathletes but the information about the types of exercise and eating is spot on.[/quote]

Agree with this.  Stop the cardio (or really lower it), and start lifting weights for hypertrophy.

While the redistribution of where I gain is still abdomen, I’ve been able to eat more food each day and feel fit.

And it’s not disordered.

You won’t look like your thirties, but you will look healthy, and most importantly you will protect against bone loss with the weight lifting.

But adjustable dumbbells, one barbell, and a bench.  That’s an all you need for a full body workout.  Start with body weight movements.

You can download and app like Caliber.  You tell it the equipment you have and it will set up the exercises for you.  It won’t tell you how much to lift, that is up to you and how much you feel you can.  Start with body weight, then use the dumbbells and barbell.

Lift for hypertrophy, meaning, fewer sets, more weight.[/quote]
