I do weight training twice a week, tennis twice a week and once a week I do Krav Maga. I’m in the best shape of my life and I’m 46. Wish I had started this when I was in my 20’s. I would like to add some distance running into the mix when the weather cools a bit.

I find it helpful to have either a gym friend or a trainer (which I know is a luxury) to keep me accountable. Without that, I would not go as much or as consistently.

Lifting weights has become a favorite activity for me. I can’t believe that. I used to scoff at the idea. It is nice to challenge yourself and set new PR’s.

I have a torn rotator cuff which has made me ease up on the intensity of my training but I’m still in there every week. Even when traveling you can always find a gym. And if not, push-ups, squats and sit-ups.

The longevity and health benefits are undeniable
