    Biking, boxing, and treadmill. Moving into 2021. Looking for folks who want to move the first five off. I'm 54, a wife with a job and 20 new pounds due to new 2020 reality. Hoping to refocus with some great friends.

    50 and somehow woke-up like 25lbs over my suit size. No one told me that craft beer was fattening, my stretchy pants have been giving me a false sense of well being, and my wife has been telling me that I'm not fat. Starting back the daily (as possible) mtn biking and cutting back on the carbs. Immediate goal is 35 lbs. Please feel free to add me. I plan on being pretty active on MFP. Best of luck with your goals.

    @jdingram1 those craft beers will get ya...I know that's my major downfall. I love my IPA's waaaay too much. I'm hoping a dry January will help me take off a few pounds.

    Any 40-50 somethings partake in yoga? My hamstrings are so tight I'm checking them for rust!

    I'm a little (😋) past 50. Attended yoga classes twice a week before they closed the gym. I need to start again myself. Yoga really improves my flexibility and balance.

    Oh dear. I’ll be aging out of this group next year, but I do yoga and/or mat Pilates daily. Excellent for balance, strength, flexibility and core.

    A few years back I used to take some of my yoga classes at LA Fitness. The instructors would go out to the weight lifting area and “harvest” lifters to come in and join the class.

    These big old stacked guys would make it ten or fifteen minutes and then go running for the door, apologizing for ever having called yoga “easy”.

    I now do weights myself and recommend those as well. They are a perfect complement to mat classes. And, I’ve developed waaaaay more respect for guys I used to privately think of as lunkheads myself. 😂

    Maybe someone should start a yogaliftinglates gym. It’d be pure gold.
