not fat and nearly 40 wrote:
I’m nearly 40. I might go for a 15-20 minute run 1-3 times in a typical week. I do 5-10 minutes of body weight exercises a couple times per week. That’s about the extent of my working out these days.
I’m not obsessive about eating a healthy diet. I don’t gorge myself, and I try to eat plenty of vegetables and some fruits, but otherwise I generally just eat what I feel like eating.
I’m nowhere close to being fat despite what I consider to be a pretty unexceptional life’s. In fact, I think I look better at 38 than I did at 20. Makes me think that people who turn into whales in their 30s and try to play it off as a normal consequence of aging must just have really unhealthy lifestyles.
I'm 64 and I weigh 3 lbs more than when I graduated from high school. It's "natural" in that it will happen if you sit in a chair and do nothing. I've been a runner for 52 years and have always been active.
