As far as physique goes, I think that it is more about diet than exercise. No matter how much weight lifting, hiking, elliptical, biking or sprinting you do, the pounds won't come off unless you are eating healthy. At least, this is what happens with me. For example, I have never in my adult life adhered to a specific workout regiment. Really, from May through November, by just doing what I want, when I want, I seem to hike 35 miles/wk, bike 10-15 miles/wk., sprint 5 miles/wk and row/paddle 5 miles/wk. Now, if I could give up fruit pies, pasta and bread. While, I am by no means svelte or chiseled, I think that I am healthy. Maybe, I will start smoking cigarettes.

Get fit in the gym; lose weight in the kitchen.

My 10 yr old daughter is learning back handsprings. I contemplated showing her.....but I didn't want to have that awkward talk with the ER doc as to why I have a fractured wrist.
Thought about showing my sons a 360 on the last day of the ski season....but same.
I feel that my mind knows I can do much of the same shit, but my body might not hold the landing.

I can attest to this.
I used to max in the high 180's, before my heart attack in December it was much lower but I wasn't tracking it because I was too stupid to read the signs... Now I ride with one and struggle to get above 150 but when it does spike it's still in the high 170's. Fortunately I don't have to have that happen anymore though because on my e-mtb I just bump it a level as it gets into the high 140's and the same when it pops higher. My cardiologist seems to think that's a decent strategy so I don't blow up again.
Smoked for nearly 30 years Over 50. Significant family history, dad had a HA at 43 and all of the men on that side of the family died at 70 for the last 100 years, he's the first to make it to 75. Me, I don't process cholesterol worth a shit, no matter what my diet has been over the last 30 years the numbers are pretty terrible. I try to eat reasonably well but have a carb problem I've eliminated sodium as much as one can now, I eat a lot of rabbit food but can't seem to give up (low fat beef) burgers and slow cooked (lean) ribs once every two weeks or so. I think the biggest problem is my blood is pretty "sticky" so I used to clot VERY well, deep gashes would close up in minutes at most, so now I'm on Brilinta twice a day to reduce that potential.
They put me on the treadmill for a stress test and after 10 minutes I still wasn't over 115 and they gave up. I can't walk faster or run due to the nerve damage in my leg from the surgery to correct the iliac artery puncture caused when they went to put in the thing to put in the stent during my heart attack. They had to do it chemically, boy that SUCKED!
Workin' on it. The beer is harder than the food actually.

I just entered the 40's and I don't find athletic performance has gone yet for me, but doing math in my head has greatly diminished

A swimmer.....
I'm sure you were well behaved, a great guy, rarely drank
Unlike the average swimmer who was nothing short of a crazy person

jerking off and wearing a hr monitor is just plain wrong, kind of wacko
on the other hand wearing one and boning some chick is just fine
when I was all into HR numbers and racing I used to wear one and have sex just cause I was all into the numbers, always try to see if I could break 180, it was pretty hard to do
this chick I raced with wore her HR monitor a couple times during sex too, so we would compare notes, she said it didn't really get her hr up that high, I just mentioned that she was just laying there and probably not doing too much

and go talk to your doctor
pretend you have low T, get some drugs
inhalers, other topical steroid creams anything
don't worry about the side effects and your "performance" in your 40's and 50's will be stellar
I suppose getting fat and out of shape in your mid to late 20's pretty much starts the downhill slide
finding time and the desire to exercise is pretty hard
but once you start you can post all about your walking biking swimming and eating healthy habits online and feel good about yourself until you give up in three weeks

Athletic performance in your 40s?
That’s well said. It’s not natural to put yourself through 100k a week in the pool, and only the craziest runners come close to the same level of self punishment.
I actually sometimes look at my entire life, career etc and think that ability was not always the best asset. Made me always choose punish myself somehow. You can’t do that forever.

that's why swimmers are all crazy
never saw so much hazing, physical abuse, fighting, taping people to locker room benches naked and leaving them there for hours, dumping ben gay all over their nuts, and this was all amongst ourselves, drug use and alcoholics, one guy I know would gets stoned before practice every day in high school, used to see who would throw up first at 7am saturday morning practices, hold people underwater until near drowning, punches to the face, bloody noses and you'd never get out of the pool blood everywhere, if we could control ourselves for one whole week and behave and listen our reward was to play water polo on fridays, it was the hardest thing to do I think we failed at getting that reward over half the time, not sure how no one drowned or lost an eye and we were one of the best teams year after year in our conference and section , 20 - 30 hrs a week in a pool as kid was fucked
