Have You Improved Your Fitness As You Got Older?

I think I have; I eat less junk, exercise more, also have not smoked since my late teens and don't drink that often.

The old bones still creek when I get up in the morning though.

Rarely ever read an article on Metro, and going from this lead me to this:

An article where a chick talked about being proud of her chîck. I mean, good for her.

Anyway, that 70 year old woman is fit as hell. I've seen 70 and 80 men/women and would say they're more around 48-50 since they take good care of themselves.

I’ve certainly paid more attention to strength training as I’ve gotten older, whereas it was mainly cardio when I was younger. I intend to do more things like power lifting as I get older, as you’re prone to losing muscle mass as you age

Exercise does make me feel better so try it it won't hurt . I does really!

I did! Then lockdown and well I’ll need to get right back to it soon as it’s not great

I am definitely. When I got divorced I lost weight and started going to the gym. Now married again, I’m not quite as healthy but I am fitter than I was at 40.

Before my mid 30s I never worked out & had a terrible diet. Now I try to work out 3-5 days a week, some weeks I achieve it, some I don't. My diet is very good & healthy as I had been working on losing lockdown weight, iv achieved that now but have continued as I feel so much better when I eat correctly. I have phases where I fall out of it tho.

I definitely feel fitter I've lost overv7bstone stopped smoking and feeling great gives u a spring in ur step

I do a lot more walking now I’m older and really enjoy, back when I was younger it was just the means to get somewhere.

I'd like to think so but seem to have reached the point where everything starts failing, so truthfully, no!

Nope definitely not got a lot worse these old bones are not what they used to be

I am fitter than in my 20s. I eat more veggies, don't drink alcohol still chocolate though and I exercise a lot.

I do try to improve my fitness but other things get in the way. While I was a cruise in March I went to the gym everyday but I had the time.

My aunt did this, she quit smoking in her 30s, lost weight and started doing triathlons. She's nearly 50 now still does triathlons regularly and looks great.

No I haven’t but know I should try to do more. It’s very difficult if you’re disabled to be motivated, well that’s what I tell myself.

Sadly not. Since the Covid lockdown I'm no longer having to go into work, so don't get to go the gym at work. I was able to go at my lunch break and do Spinning, Boxercise, Circuits etc classes. I still go out daily on my bike, but sadly its not the same fitness wise, as going to the gym. I've tried doing home workouts, but it's just not the same.

Yes since I’ve started surfskating I’m the fittest I’ve ever been at the age of 41. What’s even better is that it’s so much fun I don’t even feel like I’m exercising. It’s something that I really enjoy doing with my partner so we get to spend quality time together.
