Will - with all that time spent each day, I'm assuming you are retired...? I wish I had that much extra time. I wish I had that much discipline!

I think it's tougher, but not impossible, as you get older. You just have to work harder at it, which demands more time, which takes a serious commitment and lifestyle changes.
You hear many athletes talk about how easy it was when they were 20, but how they have to work so hard to stay fit at 40. I think that applies to everyone. Our bodies will never look 20 again, but if we could just find enough time to put into it, we could be just as fit as we were then. Matching our performance from that age might be impossible, but being just as fit isn't.
