I've been doing torturous sit ups and going out running most nights just to try and look semi decent do other people find it hard to look good in middle age x
Hope my pics aren't too bad |

I've always been really skinny, but starting to get a bit of a belly. Did the plank for a while, which improved my posture and brought in the belly, but the will power to do it regularly is the problem. |

"Get in the pool,no impact and great exercise"
i used to swim a mile every day before work - i have a back problem that stops that now unless i do back stroke but only really enjoyed breast stroke - come to think of it - swapped one breast stroke for a different kind  |

I (f) walk everywhere and garden but I'm 16 years older than you op. It's not difficult to remain averagely fit but to be fit like Madonna for instance requires a lot of dedication and I'm too busy enjoying life for that.
Moderation in all things is key.. |

I go to the gym few times a week and it is all about the diet, the older we get, the more competitive dieting is needed, the diet is 80% of the over all progress and meal timing  |

"I go to the gym few times a week and it is all about the diet, the older we get, the more competitive dieting is needed, the diet is 80% of the over all progress and meal timing "
so how would you advise i fit that into a 12 hr working day, a lot of it spent walking? how many hours do you spend working as opposed to at the gym? |

Yes, sex would be a good option lol.
It would be hard to fit it into a 12hr shift, walking is good too and instead of spreading out the meals have them together.
I only work part time so yes got lots of free time for it and I spend about 8hrs a week in the gym, but then I do the cardio at home on the bike.
One diet strategy that I recommend to everyone is zig zag calorie cycling, it will break through any plateaus someone have with a diet, which means you eat more on training days and less on non training days. |

I walk everywhere. Do yoga and various muscle stretches once or twice a day (planks, lunges, that kind of thing). I try and do at least one other virtual cycle, jogging or step type exercise daily as well. I also try not to overeat and keep an eye on everything I do eat and drink. I really should have decided to lose weight and get healthier years ago; it's a right pain in the arse finally doing something about it at my age. At least I am now overweight rather than obese though so it's a step in the right direction. |

I do some home circuits with dumbbells, mixed with crunches, planking and press-ups, and try to get out for a run 3-4 times a week. My love of cheese, IPA and whisky keep me trying to stay in shape  |
