[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a naturally skinny middle-aged man. I know I'm lucky, but I also am trying to work to put on some muscle to avoid being a frail old man.

My wife is a fit, relatively thin, middle-aged woman. She'd never say it to anyone else, but she points out to me that it doesn't come naturally. She exercises about an hour a day (plus several hours of daily walking), and whenever she gains a few pounds she cuts out all sugar for a few weeks.

I also wouldn't say it except anonymously, but I greatly appreciate her doing that. [/quote]

Does she work? Are your children still
Living at home?

We both work fulltime and always have. Older kids, but we've maintained regular exercise throughout our kids lives. Now we just go out for evening runs, or sometimes to gym; when they were younger it was stroller runs, or exercise at home after they were asleep. We do calisthenics or light weights at home. I did a lot of midnight runs when the kids were little, or we ran with them in the jogging stroller or biked them with a bike trailer or bike seat. I've done runs around the field at my kids sports events. We live in a walkable neighborhood so it's not unusual to walk a total of 2-4 hours on a weekend. Nothing extreme, but we are consistent.

Neither of us looks hugely fit, and there are a [i]lot [/i]of people who are more athletic than us, but we are both the same weight as we were in our 20s and can comfortably go on an hour jog or a 5 hour hike, which is more important than looking good on Instagram or whatever the kids are going these days.
