I know a lot of you are built like adonis,some like Adorable Adrian Adonis(he was a fat wrestler in the 80s). I am approaching 50. I'm fat,out of shape,diabetic,just went to the dr and it appears my health isn't as bad as I thought and it could be much better. So tonight I walked,ran,walked ran,and walked,and ran. It felt pretty damn good. I am gonna try and lose 30 pounds.


I will never end up like war paint ,but hey we all have our flaws as humans. I have no idea why I'm even posting this.

Lose 30lbs find a mid 30's girl and catch lots of fish and you'll be good, Barker.

I am very thankful to be in good health. So many people aren't whether its their choice or not. Schit can go south really fast whether you're a health nut or a slob so enjoy what ya got!

Avid,
The main thing is to keep moving and get regular exercise, walking, running whatever. Just keep active....
I see a ton of dudes my age that walk with a shuffle and move like sloths.
Once you lose that ability to move around it’s pretty much over except for couch duty.

You're on the right track, avoid the gym unless you're playing co-ed volleyball or something equally interesting, go outside, be outside, look for ways to make it harder rather than easier, go where other people won't and don't, you'll live longer and you won't see other people... the people you do see will mistake you for Adonis.

I exercised this weekend by reeling up about 500 pounds of halibut and lingcod from 500 feet down in moderate seas.

Reeling them up was no big deal, electric reels and all...but jigging a 3 pound pipe jib on a pool cue rod for 10 hours will kick your ass.

I try to work out regularly, but fail a lot of the time...thankfully most of my hobbies and activities put me outside and moving around.

I'm going to agree with Bent on this one...I have found that keeping a few hot chicks around that are much younger than me has been a far better motivator to keep fit than anything any doctor has ever told me

Been walking 3 miles daily for over a year now.
Blood pressure 124 over 64.
No matter what keep moving.

This.
Something I can agree with illashe on.

Watch that sodium intake too arvid.
I've cut my sodium intake by more than half. Lost 5lbs of water retention in 1 week.

Do or think about yoga. Stretches to get the acid out and go from there. Amy other answer is wrong. Stretch everything.

Motivation is a huge factor. Todd and I might not agree on everything, but atleast we figured out how to age without feeling old....

Having a few hot younger chicks around is good for more than just motivation to stay fit, too...just sayin'

If you're trying to find a keeper you have to love yourself first. Especially with young independent chicks. There's no advise to getting laid that is going to come from these dud3s.

If you have a bunch of insecurities.

I'd say from your last comment that you should not be giving anyone advice about chicks, of any age...at least not me. Maybe it's good advice for other insecure dudes.

I don't "target" any chicks, young or otherwise...the ones I know are the ones I know, and they are all intellectually sound, emotionally solid, very attractive, and they know all three of those things.

That's my demographic right there, age isn't important to me...I just happen to know a few younger ones in the 30-35 year old range that fit that bill.

a good dog is better than all the pussy, but maybe I've been with too may. chicks. Get a dog

You have been in a long relationship, Todd. I'm not giving you advise. I will stay out of this. Finding a girl is easy, keeping the right one takes care.

My motivation is to be able to live a long good quality life. Women are WAY down the list of motivating factors for me.

Agree, but differ on the list placement. If you throw the right girl into the equation everything is way better and easier, the wrong one and yeah, it sucks.

Oh ok .bro

Having a family, job and hobbies definitely cuts into my ability to workout. I still aim for pushups and sit-ups and a quick 1-2 mile run every day. Rowing the rivers and walking the banks every so often helps as well. Every so often I run to the park to play pickup basketball with the younger guys... and I can keep up with them surprisingly. Not bad for being 35.

What also helps is that I married younger and she keeps me on my toes. She works out every day and stays in excellent shape. Better shape than me which serves as great motivation.

I am in good health and grateful for it, partly genetics and partly lifestyle. I don't overeat, I am light with the sugar but don't avoid it, drink 1 to 3 beers per day, mostly eat healthy food. The thing with me its my weight does not change, I am always in a 5 pound range no matter what, since I was 20 years old.

I get lots of exercise, I walk allot just around my property every day most of the time over 5 miles per day, and all kinds of other labor type work.

I have no health problems, no pains or injury other than a bit of arthritis in my hands and my back goes out once in a while.

Weight is the biggest factor, if you can not get obese you will generally stay in fairly good shape... if you are 30lbs overweight you are gonna have problems, that is way too much extra to be carrying around. It pretty much comes down to self respect if you are fat.
