I'm half joking. But as a 30-something who used to be very active, I recognize I'm over the hill and my joints sound like pop rocks

I'm probably in better shape now, than when I was in my late 20's and defiantly in my 30's.

I go rock climbing once a week. And general running around with my 3 boys... For the exercise part.

But about 90% out the improvement is, I have a way better diet. If you can't identify it by eye, severely limit how much of it you eat.

If you can't confidently state "hey, that is a bit of broccoli" or "that's beef mince" etc...don't eat much of it.

Fruit, vegetables, meat, spices, simple grains, rice..... Keep your ingredients simple, it will pay dividends in health long term.

Climbing and living in a city where I walk everywhere is how I get fit too.

I learned that no matter the diet, spices can compensate for the stuff that is nice for the tastebuds but bad for the diet.
