Fabulous, Hilary!

I will turn 45 this year and in my head I still feel 20 when I work out. I have slowed down. I used to exercise at far higher intensity that no longer appeals, but it does not occur to me that I cant do something physically demanding because of my age.

I sometimes wonder how long this will last - the physical abilities. It is great to have a definitive answer. If I keep at it, I dont need to worry until at least age 58.

I must admit Hilary, you look more fit in the recent picture than I have ever been. Look at the strength in that stomach, those arms and those thighs! Wow!

Wow, Hilary, you look amazing!! Do you think barre workouts are what made the most changes to your legs? I'm going to do whatever you're doing

My mother is slightly older than Hilary (she's 60) & also looks better now than she did in her 40s. Clean eating, smaller portions, & lots of yoga have transformed her body from one that also actually looks like Hilary's 'before' into I guess a yoga-fied version of H.'s 'after'. Due to her disability, I don't think she could bounce around & do TA like H. has, but becoming fitter & smaller has definitely improved her self esteem & quality of life.

My father cycles harder, faster, & better than my strong 31 year-old boyfriend & is generally more fit than most 20-something's. I taught him to snowboard when he was 50, he now goes riding WAY more than I ever do (although that's also a $$$ thing on my part).

I think the bottom line is that eating well & working out to the best of your abilities & then some is absolutely necessary for a happy & healthy life. All of this is even more important the older you get.

I usually sit back and just read through people's posts looking for bits of ideas, inspiration or just plain entertainment. Your post compels me to come out of the shadows and tell you how inspired I am by your perspective and accomplishments.

Thank you so much for sharing much of yourself.
