It's that time again. Time to evaluate ones health status and begin a healthy life process for the new year and beyond. With hindsight 50/50 and the odds being 20/20 I'm in search of a plan.
I have all the tools at home(weights, treadmill etc) to do the work and I've used it all successfully in the past. I'm just not sure I want to go that route again. Or at least I need a new toy to get motivated. I've been eyeing the Bowflex Max. Does anyone have any experience or feedback on the Max? [Reply]

I like to work out but I have a bad cycle where I put in the work and do good things and get into pretty good shape.(for an older guy) But then I slowly lose interest and then deteriorate over time. Over a few years time. That's where I'm at now except I've had a lot of life stress that's contributed to my current down turn. It's time to shake it off and get with it. [Reply]

Same. If I miss working out for a a few days due to life, I feel bad and miss it. Just get in the habit and party on. [Reply]

I used to be like that. Then you hit 30 and are like does it really matter? Who am I trying to impress. I mean if you want to live longer I get it but thats about it. I used to be a big time work out goon. Takes alot to maintain.
Went from 192 lbs, benching 300 lbs to 175 lbs skinny fat guy with close to 19% body fat. I lose weight as I get older. Just get fatter. [Reply]

You’re partially right.
My 20’s was about looking good for the ladies.
In my mid 30’s working out is now 100% for me. [Reply]

It's always been for me!
It gets in your blood, mind and you don't stop. It's a light addiction. I started when I was 17 and have been working out ever since, I am 52 now. At least 3-4 days a week, but would like 4-5, but life gets in the way.
I've pretty much done all types of workouts and lifts over the last 35 years.
Finally about 2 years ago, I decided to do it for health and longevity, so my lifting moved from strength (for the most part) to just lifting intense and boxing. I absolutely love boxing for cardio. [Reply]

I feel like it's just a really bad cold. But man, it's kicking my keester. For the past three days I've been impersonating a corpse on my couch. [Reply]
