When I owned a fitness store back in Ottawa, I would meet all kinds of people. I can't tell you how many mid-thirties men would come in, fat and weak with poor posture, telling me that couldn't train hard anymore and just wanted some kind of magic pill to make their belly dissapear. What losers!

You don't have to accept the body of a sloth just because you are getting on in years. Just turn on the TV and look at all the jacked athletes in their late thirties and early forties with abs and veins in their arms. If you eat well, sleep enough and stay active you really shouldn't notice a visible deterioration until your fifties, and even then it can be a healthy and gracefull slide. People just need to take care of themselves and have some damn pride! If you are a slob and look twenty years older than you are, you should be ashamed of yourself and get your fat ass in gear. I lost an Aunt and Uncle far earlier than it should have been due to self induced type II diabetes. They killed themselves with food for God's sake!

There really is no excuse, and this goes for women too. At the gym I train at, there are a lot of middle age women who have popped out a few kids that have better bodies than the teenage girls who "train" there. Why? Because the young chicks eat crap and party, while the MILF's watch what they eat and train hard on a regular basis.

I am not saying that everyone should roll with a full six pack abs or anything, but age is not an excuse for obesity. Check out Herschel Walker fighting at 47 years old!

Or better yet, check out Denise Austin and the body she has maintained!
