[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will be 50 early next year.  I lift weights as heavy as most of the men in my classes, and do so on a daily basis, in the 10-12 pound range for a good hour at a time.  Body Pump or more typically a class format of weights mixed with intensity cardio. It has leaned me out, not bulked me up, such that I have the thin, muscular build of a dancer.  The mix of daily lifting and high intensity cardio -- for at least an hour each day -- has brought my weight down to 127 lbs on a 5' 9 1/2" frame.  Before I started lifting I weighed 154 lbs., and that was about 2 years ago.  I often add a second hour of daily exercise, that is dedicated to more restorative type exercises like yoga, dance, or barre class, depending on the day.[/quote]

Do you work? I have to assume not if you can work out two hours per day.

And yes, I am jealous. I won't deny it.[/quote]

I work from home so my schedule allows for more flexibility.  If I am up and working by 7:00 a.m., I can run out around 9:00 a.m. for a fitness class, return home by 10:15 a.m. and continue to work in a t-shirt and leggings.[/quote]

That's awesome. I can work from home some days but my kids in elementary school dont get on the dang bus until 8:45. And the Middle schooler gets home at 2:30. Sigh. Someday I will really have time for myself. [/quote]
