I've worked out my whole life. I'm 56 now and kind of did it hit and miss for a couple of years there when I was "trudging thru hell", if you kwim.
Anyway started back regularly 6 or 8 mths ago, and quit smoking 2+ mths ago and have really been noticing a lot of improvement in my overall wellbeing. Getting stronger and younger! Ha! Gotta keep that promise I made to my 7yo dd about dancing at her wedding.
But seriously, being physically stronger or just strong really makes life so much easier, it also really helps my mental attitude, must be those endorphins I keep hearing about.
Any who, good on you and keep up the good work, you'll feel great.
Thanks and God bless us all, :praying
