[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not quite 50 yet, but getting close. The reason I'm in better shape than a lot of younger women is because I've been exercising consistently pretty much my whole life. I was a dancer in my youth and now I exercise harder than I did in my 20s and 30s.[/quote]

Me too. I'm a bit out of shape now, but it won't take but a month or two for me to get back into shape for this very reason.

Good genes as well - three kids, no stretch marks[/quote]

I'd caution against that kind of complacency--as you get older it gets harder and harder to "come back" from poor form. Also, kudos to the runners here, but I'd also suggest skipping running as a regular form of exercise if you haven't been running your whole life. It's a great way to screw up your knees, ankles, and feet. Get a bike and join a local biking club. An hour or two of riding a day and regular core exercises and you'll live forever...

Oh yeah, I have an hour or two per DAY to ride. That's why I run - it's fast.[/quote]
