Thought I would post. I am 55. I started doing triathlons three years ago. So to keep fit ( I have dropped about 60 lbs) I cycle, either outdoors or indoors, I run and I swim. I also weight train once a week. Seems to be working for me and I enjoy the competition. Poking around on your blog site I came across this blog. Thought I would post. I am 55.

I like Clive work from a home office so have taken the commuting out of my day! Instead I have a routine of mountain biking with a neighbour Monday, Wednesday and Fridays for 1 hour. On Saturday we go out for 2 hours. Friday night I play 5 a-side with friends for 1 1/2 hours followed by a session in the pub! On Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday I either run or blade at Dorney Lake (Eton College Rowing Club) which is 2km long and with the extra distance at each end makes for 5km laps. So 5 or 10k runs and 15 or 20K blade sessions. On blades it is possible to do 5k in 12 minutes. Stretching is critical to all of this and a Tuesday Body Balance class also lends itself to the mix. So at 41 (until May) I am working on staying fit and healthy. Mike Donald, since you posed the question… I like Clive work from a home office so have taken the commuting out of my day!

I play tennis between 2 and 5 times a week, at least one of which is usually a coaching session. This might seem like rather a lot but I enjoy the variety in the games and meeting my opponents for a chat. The coaching element is important as that's my therapy. If I ever get depressed about any aspect of my play, I just work on it with the coach and regain some confidence. My personal experience in this respect is one of the main reasons I'm pro coaching as a tool for development. The second way I keep fit is by walking. My wife and I are big walkers and we try to have at least two one-week walking holidays a year, one in the UK and one in Europe. When you're walking you see far more than any tourist ever could and don't ever need to feel guilty about eating and drinking lots in the evening. When I can't play tennis or walk, I go to the gym. It's 10 minutes walk from my house but I drive there - does that make sense? I enjoy the gym and often use the time to reflect on an article or blog posting I'm working on. I've never got this idea that the gym is boring - I've always felt that if you find something boring it says more about you than the activity.
