Anyone else here having issues with Turning 45 and losing muscle tone? Just not liking the way I feel. Any suggestions??

    46, peri hit me like a freight train (looking back it started earlier, but things started to get bad around 44-45, but had no clue that's what was going on until earlier this year). Treating that is helping with my energy and motivation and sleep, which is making getting back into the gym a lot easier. Joint pain/tendonitis still a struggle sometimes, so having to take things slow to ensure I don't make things worse.

    Weight shift is proving to be a huge problem for me. Trying a few things to see if it will start to resolve. So far any progress is slow, but at least I've stopped the worsening of things.

    I've been hitting the iron since my early 30's (age 47 now), so I have not had personal decline. But I have seen the decline in my friends, which is extra motivation for me to keep doing what I'm doing.
