I'm 43 and 6'3" @ 195 (down from 220 - yeah) and 22% bf according to my cheap scale so probably worse.
220lbs and
from the waist down? Yes.
But I really need to get my "core" back in shape.
I whip back into shape quick once I begin to work out.
I don't do the New Year's stuff either, but I'm aiming for 185lbs and whatever bf% come with that but ideally would lose the spare tire which has already lost some volume since I started riding regularly. I'm also hoping to ride up and down both sides of Vail pass. It's about 80 miles (Breckenridge to Vail and back) so I need to find something else to try that's 100 miles so I can do a century too, but the climbing should count for something. Hope to do both of those this summer.
Good luck on your goals. Maybe we can all inspire each other.
Thanks!
That was actually one of the the "
why's" that I posted this thread.
If I found at least one voice of encouragement who's had similar goals,
that would be a bit of a boost to me. It's always comforting to know
others have been in a similar situation and have met their goals.
Nice to know that I've found more than 1 voice of encouragement.
