[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again.

Speaking of my DH, I wanted to add: if you're not currently in a relationship, the BIGGEST thing you can do is find a significant other who is into fitness and health.  It becomes really hard to find the time and effort as you get older (and have kids) and I think I wouldn't be where I am now if my DH didn't respect health/fitness as a major priority in our lives, for me and for him.[/quote]

I agree.

OP, don’t be a b*tch about your older friends who are “making excuses.” I am a 38 YO former D-1 athlete and I have always maintained a rigorous fitness routine and gone on to compete regionally in road racing. Age is likely going to bite you in the ass so cut the sh*t talking on your friends. You will get cellulite. You will get injured more easily. You will have to fight muscle loss. For me after 34, even the 6 day a week routine wasn’t having great effects. I was running 5 days, including hill work and track interval workouts and continuing to lift twice too. Don’t think you’re above the aging process. [/quote]

Hey, I'm not sh*t talking my friends, I'm simply asking. You may very well be right, but in some cases I think people are making excuses... or they do accept changes and stop trying altogether. As I said before, you don't have to spend your free time on the couch, and I think some people who say they are "just too tired from a long day at work" to do a workout or cook a healthy meal, ARE making excuses or not trying hard enough. YES it's hard but life is hard.

I have a partner who does workout but is more moderate about it than me and that is fine. Some of his friends though are still addicted to video games....after 30... :shock:

You sound horrible. Everyone is different. Some people just don’t have the time, money, or good health to work out. Your body may be great but your mind is ugly. Fix it[/quote]

Jesus Effing Christ. I said "some people." Not all. I didn't feel the need to state the obvious. I wouldn't deny that some people have conditions or other things (kids, multiple jobs) that prevent working out but you can't deny that some people actually do let themselves go and spend their free time on the couch.

DP, but so what if people let themselves go?  it's not your business.  If you had stuck to how you can stay fit later in life, without bringing in what other people do, you wouldn't be getting this push-back.  Also, try thanking those of us who have offered reasonable suggestions.[/quote]
