Effects of aging on fitness
Hey Everyone,
Turning 51 next month and have been struggling with weight for years. 6' 275 with an easy 50lb to lose, but it's harder than ever now as a pre-diabetic (insulin resistant) with low test. I take 100mg Test Cyp weekly per my endo, but trying to figure out diet & cardio has been damn near impossible. Meal prep is a huge PITA and probably the biggest obstacle to progress; I'm trying to follow a low-carb plan but it's been too easy to f-up and eat the wrong thing often enough. Also not sure how much cardio I should be doing - I have a desk job and sit 9 hrs daily. I try to get up hourly and walk around but that's not guaranteed. I've been trying to get motivated to go back to the gym on weekends but it's hit or miss depending on how I'm feeling that day. Lots of info online about nutrition but I can't figure out where my daily intake should be calorie-wise, and what's more important (cardio or weights). I have to figure this all out before I end up with T2 diabetes and things really become a mess. Appreciate any input on any of the issues I mentioned here.
