Hi everyone John is my name I'm 58 years old and haven't exercised for years. Used to be right into surfing, jogging, martial arts and was very fit although "not built".
Then I went into business for myself and that's when I started to stop all my activities. These days I am of average build I guess. height 5' 3" tall and weigh around 65kgs. When I was fit I weighed around 53kgs.
I have a bit of a gut and don't sleep well and my blood pressure is high.
In terms of food, I eat well, mainly veges, chicken and fish.
Don't eat red meat as my wife had breast cancer and her oncologist suggested she not eat red meat so we have stuck to that for the last 7 years, I rarely any junk food.
l have always wanted to get into bodybuilding however other issues kept putting this on the back burner.
I'd say I have left my run too late at my age however I thought I would still try.
Have no Idea where to start except some years ago (around 10) I bought the book "body for life" and I did use some of the exercises in that for some 3 months. The meal regime of 6 meals a day was indeed hard for me to stick to and I soon stopped.
In any case I would appreciate some comments and advice from those who might suggest where to start.
Are there any members who know of any men who have had success starting at an older age.
Kind Regards to all
