I've seen some pic and man this guy is 60yr and you would'nt belive it. He looks great. Im 41 and i need a little overhual. My girlfriend says i dont have much to lose in the ab section, but i say otherwise. Now these days I feel like i cant seem to get started. I know that I put on some pounds but not alot. after my injury i started to do some jogging on and off road training.
Im trying to watch what i eat. my problem is 10pm and after 12midnight. Hunger pangs calls me. positive thinking is a must and a young mind too.So I lost 6lb at the most.that what the scale shows but, nothing els. to be honest i want to look that good at age 60 myself. There's a book iron man

Heya bigreg,
Welcome to the forums. Knowing you want to improve your fitness and knowing yourself well enough to realize that you need more information on how to do it right is definitely a step in the right direction, so good on ya for that! body2big kind of hit the major points you'll want to ask yourself and provide as information here so that the other folks on the board can point you in the right direction. I'd also suggest including any pertinent medical info like allergies, asthma, join or back problems, etc. that could impact the type of advice people might give you. Also, the thread that body2big referenced would probably be a good read for you, and can be found here:

Good luck with your progress!

Cheers!
