I hit the gym two or three times a week to lift heavy (e.g., squat, deadlift, overhead press) and go for a walk most days. The walks are hardly a breakneck pace—I'm carrying on a conversation, stopping to check out wildflowers, and observing what's going on around me. Both are fun and contribute to overall fitness, but in different ways. I need to think a lot at my job will get up and wander around regularly. Food wise, paleo-style eating seems to help with energy levels and staying lean. So does getting eight hours of sleep every night, which doesn't happen frequently enough. I'm not a fan of steady-state cardio. It seems to hurt muscle mass and contribute to belly fat and joint pain. I'm 41, 5'8", 175#, 32" waist, 40" chest, and recently squatted 315# for a single and have deadlifted 430#.
