far Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I've always been of slim build, tall and can still look good in a suit ...do a bit of cycling, hit 30 in the summer and it seems like I also hit a fat switch! - my usual low/average amount of exercise and 'normal' diet seems to have worked so far but I cant help noticing its getting harder to keep trim. Any 30 Plus guys out there who have noticed this? Whats the quickest way to start loosing weight mainly around the midriff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefgroover Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Your digestive system has probably slowed up making weight gain easy. I suggest you try Higher natures "supergest" that makes a difference for pretty much everyone. Get yourself a pull up bar from ebay @ about £15 that goes into a doorframe, use it morning and night pulling your knees up as you chin up. You'll have a much better shape in a few weeks and the gut will certainally be tighter. Stay off Chinese food and the like, keep it more simple meals, and give the system an easy time. Also spend less time on here and the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbonut Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Its not possible to 'spot reduce' but men hold excess weight primarily around their waists. You say your diet and activity levels have stayed the same but what about your alcohol intake? Has that increased? Try a different sport or increase the intensity of the excercise you take as you could be hitting a bit of a plateau with your body grown used to your typical routine.

As we get older our priorities change and there always seems to be something more important to do. If you can find some activity you enjoy, which requires intensity, and can do 2 or 3 times a week, make time for it because you'll reap the benefits as you see positive changes in your body and regular exercise in itself increases your energy levels Basically, if your eating more calories than your body can use up, you will put on weight. Adjust the balance and you'll be fine L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 You'll find its like Linda just said. Your life changes into your thirties. You get a car and pretty much drive to the corner shop now when you used to walk. You are now in a postion of management instead of the dogsbody so at work all day you sit down instead of running around all the time. Time to do anything is vastly reduced by your daily responsibilities. Hence you don't have the luxury of allowing yourself the hour or more a day to go to the gym you do in your teens and early twenties. Also you never get time to shop properly (this is the killer when it comes to eating properly, you can't eat what you didn't buy). so all in all mid life mid spread happens. I at least can blame my beer consumption for now. When I get back I won't be able to afford beer anymore and so will have to lose a bit of midriff. Back to the 4 mile runs 3 times a week I guess.

far Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 wise words DB, i've kinda been running multiple businesses for some time now so I've always been running around and managing, and the property development can be pretty physical at times....thinking about it since I've been working on other projects I have been outsourcing the physical parts of property development to someone else so your example is pretty valid....I will just need to spend some time exercising I guess, like my dad keeps saying making money is great but I cant buy good health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 "When you're younger you can eat what you like, drink what you like, and still climb into your 26" waist trousers and zip them closed. Then you reach that age, 24-25, your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag, and without any warning at all you're suddenly a fat bastard" Wise words of 2nd technician Arnold J Rimmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
