Fifi,

and if you have the motivation. You do nothing with all the time in the world without motivation.

Fifi, Awww little boy. You just can't stand seeing someone do better than you, huh. ...Here's a newsflash: you don't need prohibitive amounts of time to achieve what this woman has achieved.

Thomasa,

As a man I can tell you it does *not* get harder as the years go by. On the contrary. It's hard to be hard.

Thomasa, Only if you've spent your entire life ignoring or beating up on your body. I've fought crippling disabilities all my life - unemployable, homeless, open-ended hospital stays, two spine injuries, etc etc. I was so sickly as a child, I had delayed onset puberty. ...Exercise, no matter how light, has always been my only source of help. So after a lifetime of walking, stretching, lifting 5-lb bottles of water because I couldn't do anything heavier, I solved some of my most disabling health conditions. Now at 65, I'm doing things I couldn't do in my twenties. In fact, I'm doing things most guys will never even dream of doing. My most recent hike was 33 miles(54km) with almost 6,000ft(1,820m) of elevation in 12:45. Many, maybe most, of the problems associated with aging are not from aging, they're from the belief that 'I can't do this at my age'. The next biggest reason may be that most people have it so easy earlier in life, that they can't or won't do what it takes, whether it's the discipline, or more likely, the patience needed to start from absolute zero and proceed in sometimes microscopic gains.
