There is a moment when you get older when your metabolism slows down and you don't feel like working out any more, so you don't want to keep yourself fit any more, but that's your decision. Why should you be judged for it?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As you get older, your metabolism slows down. You've got to admit it. It's nothing to be ashamed of if you have lived your life to the full.
The big difference for me is that, as I get older, I find it's a lot easier to stay in shape than it is to get back in shape.
I am concentrating on my fitness levels so that I don't look old.
I believe in eating smaller meals more often throughout the day to keep the metabolism going. Don't deprive yourself, just make better choices. At 50 years old it is definitely a lot harder to stay in shape then it was when I was in my 20's.
I'm obsessive enough about getting fit, it's ridiculous. I'm 40 now, and I've got to stop doing it soon. I have to start getting fat and old!
I actually feel, in a lot of ways, that I'm in better shape than I was when I was 30.
You know, at 35 or at 38 or 40 you really start to see what your body could look like if you just don't do anything all winter long. So that's another motivating factor, our vanity.
Earlier, looking lighter or slimmer never mattered to me. Frankly, I didn't care. I had more important things to do. But when I figured that it's not that hard, and I have the time, passion and patience to take it up, I jumped onto the health-wagon. I started working out.
As I get older, I just need to continue to make sure I'm staying in peak shape and taking care of my body the best I can.
As you get older, you either become proactive about staying in shape and taking care of yourself, or, you know, time has its effect on you.
