Good for you! I've come to the same conclusions. Consistency is key. Just show up and keep going even though you may not have the motivation. Keep. Everyday.
I have planned to workout at least 20 minutes a day. I won't become Arnold, but at least I'll stay in shape. I used to train more and be consistent, but now it's become somehow harder. But I think with having the habit, it becomes easier to increase (if needed!) over time. But consistency is key.
Cheers to you!
At a certain age you just have to accept it's more about undoing damage from careless youth, rather than trying to attain god-like powers XD
Working out definitely has lower returns now than it ever used to. The 'myth' of metabolism turns out not to be a myth too - Eating multiple pizzas and 1.5 litres of coke would keep me skinny back in the day. Nowadays I'd take up an entire sofa after a week of that habit. So let's keep it up knowing everyone else is dealing with the same burden!
Yeah, I agree, even though I'm really not very old... but a bad diet or lack of sleep can bring me down faster than I would like.
