[quote=Anonymous]I added tennis to my workout routine and lost a couple inches on my waist and all my pants fit better. I was working out regularly before but focus was on weight lifting and then barre/yoga/pilates. I walked a lot but compared to a couple hours of tennis a couple times a week, was getting a fraction of the cardio.

It was unexpected because everyone had told me that at midlife, weightlifting and diet were the most important, and that cardio wouldn't help me lose weight. But running around a tennis court 5-8 hours a week had a huge impact on my shape. I'm leaner all over.

It also impacted the balance of everything else. I'm eating more, but craving mostly high protein and fruits/veggies -- I don't crave sugar like I used to because my body wants something more nutritious to keep up my energy. I've also upped the weights in my weightlifting routine and I have to lift more and more often to see the same results as before. I also drink WAY more water, like more than double what I used to drink, especially in the summer.[/quote]
