Quoted from jorge5240:

I just turned 40 and have always been pretty physcially fit. I wakeboard at a relatively high level, so I need to stay in decent shape to do so. I usually work out 6 days a week. I am pretty old school and I am in the middle of a round of P90X right now. I can do close to 140 pull ups in the legs and back do, so I am crushing it pretty good right now.
Diet is another story. I do well during the week but weekends are tough. I have little kids and a stressful job so I indulge in wine a bit more than I should.

P90X is the best workout ever. I started doing 10 years ago when I was 47 and was in the best shape of my life. I'm almost 60 now and still do manage to do a lot of it to keep in shape. I can still do 50 pushups straight.

I know it is old school but it is proven. I mix up the routines. When I eat spot on and do the program the results are amazing. Since I just turned 40 I am on mission to push it and see if I can get in the best shape ever. I know Father Time is undefeated but, I still think I am young enough to push it.</blockquote
I did Power 90 first and P90X came out shortly 11 years ago. When I started P90X I could do maybe 3 under hand pullups in a row. When I was done I lost like 20 pounds and could do 27 pullups. I can still do 10 at 59 . You lose strength in your late 50's for sure.

Quoted from jorge5240:

My consistency has not always been great. I usually do a round of P90X and then take off a couple weeks but I am ussually wakeboarding or running even when not doing the program. I just finished AB Ripper and off to chest and back right now.
Problem is the diet I have a lot of stress so find myself sharing a bottle of wine with my wife a couple times a week. I am 5-9 165 but really need to get down below 160 to be super solid.

There is no way you can do P90X consistently. I did it for the 90 days and after that but after a while it really got my joints hurting. I just do a couple of the workouts a week. I still do a total of 160 pushups in one of them at 59 years old.I also go for a 5 mile walk once a week.
