I am in my late 50s, and in my family we have great genes. My father, who smoked two packs of cigarettes a day up until age 60 and was at one point obese, lived until he was 92.
That being said, the thing I regret most is not engaging in vigorous physical exercise when I was in my 40s. I am doing it now -- have done two rounds of P90X, and on my second round of Insanity. I predict it will take me 3 years to get to where I want to be. But it is very hard.
So for all you guys under 30 -- eat clean. But above all work out, hard. 5-6 times a week. Every week. Every year. Don't stop. Don't be like me where you have waited and waited, and have to make it up. You can do it...but it's hell.
