I'm 48. I am in pretty good shape all the time. My family is blessed with great metabolism. My brother is 49 and he pours down the carbs and fat to try to gain weight for hunting season. I can't run because my knees won't tolerate it. I don't lift weights because that sucks. All I need to do is put miles on my legs with a pack on. I love to hit my local wilderness on the weekends and bomb up and down a 3 hr round trip, but that takes away a lot of family time. Last year I finally succumbed to the reality that I can't stand the treadmill thing, and I just wont do it. I found a public golf course that is on my way home that has a 3 mile loop around it with just a mild amount of up and down. As soon as the days get long enough, I will be back there every night after work with my boots and a pack with about 40#. If I do that, that is all I ever need to do.
