[QUOTE="seattleman1969, post: 1852577, member: 84285"] I am 50 and I have found that the number one thing I can do is to actively track my calories. I use an app on my iphone and computer (I work in technology so that is convenient for me) to track EVERYTHING I eat and drink and set a goal of 1500-1800 calories daily. With that I have linked my Activity tracker/HRM with the app as well so it balances what you eat vs what you burn and gives you a daily readout of your negative/positive calorie load. [B]There are millions of diets and tons of theories and ideas about losing weight, etc, but the one thing that works 100% of the time is to maintain a 10-20% calorie deficit daily. You do that and the pounds will fall off.[/B] A quality HRM/tracker is a necessity too, like the I use a Polar Vantage M that allows for tracking using different profiles, incorporates GPS for much more accurate tracking when hiking/running/walking/biking outside but disables the GPS and only tracks steps when running on equipment, does not need a chest strap, and also allows you to build custom exercise profiles and training programs. And core... and not matter what you do, never neglect to stretch! Also, doing those odd exercises to strengthen supporting muscles is very important. Try a set of no weight "Good Mornings" to test how strong your back chain is... I bet your lower back, butt, and hamstrings ache for three days if you haven't been doing them. But after you will be surprised how much stronger you get and how quickly your endurance will build. [/QUOTE]
