Physically inactive people can lose as much as 3% to 5% of their muscle mass each decade after age 30. Even if you are active, you’ll still have some muscle loss."


Also, the metabolism slows which makes it easier to put on weight. And blood flow to parts of the body slows. In my case to the achilles tendons, which severely impacted my running.

So I would say that once you hit 40 you have to work harder to maintain the same body characteristics. If you are in good shape in your 70s, keep it up!!

You can limit the muscle loss by pumping iron.

Yes you can. Easy to say. Rather difficult to do.

Not that hard to get a gym membership and a trainer and lift weights, I don't think.

When I lift weights, I think about shit that pisses me off, and I work harder taking it out on the weights.

Working out is not "fun". Yes, it is easy to get a gym membership. It is expensive to get a personal trainer. This week at the gym there are a lot of new faces due to New Year's resolutions. That will last maybe a month. I see people as being inherently lazy and that is why so many are not close to being fit.

To those who are in a fitness regimen -- keep at it.

The issue is High fruictose corn syrup and dextrose sugar , both more addictive then ( you know) we cant say ! This has addicted people to soda and junk foods .

I agree it is not fun until the end.

That shit has no useful nutrients but ironically fatso motherfuckers drink the diet shit without sugar and still get fat as fuck.

Yeah, sure, everybody that’s fat is poor, lazy, black, Hispanic, and a liberal.


Every fucking day there’s some dip shit throwing the word ‘liberal’ around, to justify his/her Trumpanzee-ism.

Everybody is fucking fat, except people who are not fat. Political agendas do not matter. It’s usually based on lifestyle, wealth, level of stress, diet, and a rigorous combination of all of the above.

I don’t openly ‘identify’ as a liberal, but I believe in a general sense of fairness for everybody. If that makes me a liberal, then so be it. Some of you think a small group of you should have everything and everyone else should just fucking starve and die. People like you need to just die off. Seriously. If you say the word “liberal” every day of your life, you fucking need help. That’s just my opinion, but whatever.

Staying on topic, the truth of the matter is, we as a whole, eat too much junk/fast food and don’t exercise enough. That is the core issue with obesity. But then again, it’s hard to exercise enough and eat the right things enough when you have to work all the damn time. It’s a catch 22, A vicious cycle of cause-and-effect. This country causes a lot of problems that it complains about.

I agree that our country causes some of our own problems. Thank God Trump is in the White House or it would be much,much worse. Trump2020.

Gosh imagine how great he would be if he could actually keep the government open.

[Austin Ellen]

I have to laugh out loud with your support of Trump in a thread on "Too many fat people in America". Trump is borderline obese. The most physically unfit POTUS in decades. Terrible diet. Does not exercise and has actually made negative comments about exercise.

"Trump is perhaps the most sedentary, least healthy president in recent history."
