The real key to getting in shape at 40

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Forget about counting carbs and forget about fad diets.  Getting in shape after the age of 40 (in my opinion) after trying just about everything is M.O.V.I.N.G your body.

I get a little tired of women who use the excuse of too many carbs - too little time.   The bottom line is we eat too much and we move to little. 

I bought a little bike last year in April, 2007.  I bought just a cheap little bike to see if I would like it.  The bike was so cheap it was hard to pedal.  I did really like it though and started riding it almost every single day.  It built up my leg muscles and got me into better shape faster.  But - I could not ride any distances because it just wore me out.  It was a great starter bike and it did get me into shape much faster.

My very first ride was embarrassing to say the least.  Even after all the classes I took at my gym, I still struggled the first few weeks with my bike.   Actually the first couple miles I rode my bike were the absolute worst.  I am so glad I didn’t give up on it!   It made me feel better than I had in the last 15 or so years and I really loved the way it made me look!
