Yep, I’m right there with you. At 51, I’m constantly learning new lessons of doing too much because my body takes longer to recover now. I started having a harder time keeping up with the hardcore youngin’s, and why should I try? Ego. Every day now I am practicing letting go of what my ego wants me to do to concentrate on what my body actually needs. It needs more stretching, and more time between resistance training sessions. It’s really hard to scale down; but, you’re right, I have more time now for other things!

Your headline is a bit misleading. You are still living a fitness lifestyle but you are no longer obsessive about it.

Thanks Pete.

Yeah i get tons of traffic from search term “naked chinese men” glad you found me 🙂

eh the whole fitness culture thing is a total double edged sword. You can use all the instagram shit to inspire and motivate yourself or it can used to suck you into a deep dark hole of unrealistic expectations and lies.

Hey Keith – I just stumbled upon your site through a random Google search, and I’m glad to find that there are other people, apparently, who think like I do.

“Calm the fuck down, it’s not that big a deal”

You’re dead right man. The degree to which some people inflate their fitness egos is mindbogglingly ridiculous. Fitness culture attracts and enables narcissism, and modern social media has only exacerbated the trend by orders of magnitude.

Johnny Instagram couldn’t ever admit that this fitness stuff isn’t all that hard to handle, because then he’d come face to face with the fact that the thing he defines his entire life by is, as you said, just not that big of a deal.

The real shame is when that kind of behavior convinces regular folk that good health/fitness isn’t possible for them when it most definitely is.

cheers,

Pete
