Re: Getting too old for this...

I turned 40 this year and its not getting any easyier.

When i was 20-30 i could eat as much crap as i wanted and never put on a gram, but now i only have to look at a piece of cake and i put on a kilo.
Mind you i was diving, swimming, surfing, playing waterpolo every day , still do all but not as often.
I have also found my recovery time from injury has greatly increased and
Have lost a small amount of flexability

To keep fit i play waterpolo twice a week, do two pool sesions a week i just did Sebastiens Murats exhale free dive course ( and loved it) so im training useing his technique, do one swimming session walk the dogs for 20min 4 times a week and get one days spearing in on most weekends and spend the rest of my free time playing with the kids

The only draw back is that im up at 5.00 am 6 days a week and asleep by 9.30 pm so my wife dosent see me in bed that much ( the love life has suffered a little).

I found my body slowed down at 35 ( a little) 38 and 40 and I have had to work quite hard to get back into shape after a 10 week layoff after a shoulder opp


Im eating heaps of Fruit, Veg, Fish + Meat and stay faaar away from crap food.

At 40 im feeling really good im only a couple of kilos above my fighting weight
and can still keep up with the young bucks

If i have found one thing its DONT STOP if you stop its take along time to get started agian, and keep a possitive attude keeping fit is 90% the mind pushing the body.

Live long and Prosper
