couple, us we him her.

Mr here.

Am I the only one who finds staying in shape now really hard ?

Spent my entire adult Life active and taking part in various sports.

Now as I am approaching 50 I am really getting frustrated by thing's that used to be a piece of piss,now struggling.

With fitness, strength and mostly weight control.

I work really hard in the gym 4/5 days a week (and yes I know what I am doing thanks), eat a healthy balanced diet drink in moderation.

But I am doing nothing different to previous years yet the waist is growing.

I understand that our metabolic rate slows drastically as we age as does testosterone levels.

But this past twelve months I have seen a lifetimes worth of hard work and dedication virtually disappear.

Any other guys my age have same problems or any handy tips?

I have recently started to ramp up my interval sessions.

But have seen my endurance ability really drop.

I used to be able to manage 2k on the concept 2 in just under 7mins 30 fairly comfortably (well it was hard but achievable) now can't quite get under 8:30.

Cheers
