I was starting to go that way in my late twenties. Started training in the gym. Thirties now, looking and feeling better than at any other point in my life. I beat my high school time for the 1 mile run by 30s recently, I couldn’t believe it.
I’ve seen people much older than you or I totally turn their lives around. I think for most people, it’s not getting older that is the problem, but rather, being sedentary over the long run is just way more destructive than we realize. Even just daily long walks makes a night and day difference
How long? Is an hour or so ok or is that not long?
Anything at all is vastly better than sitting around all day.
An hour is great.
Yup I didn’t get back to a healthy weight until after my kid was born at 40. Really till he started running around so closer to 42-43.
Then I got Covid just before the vaccine was available for our ages and have been underweight since. Just finally started gaining back decent muscle this winter but still having trouble keeping weight on (I’m 6’3 and 170-175lbs (~190cm ~78kg)).
Was around 200lbs (90kg) while my wife was pregnant.
