45 and after 10 years off from it heat back into a rehearsal space with the 3 chaps from my old band.
It's just for fun rather than one more run at the title.

Meself and ochoill have been at similar lately. Great craic the old midlife crisis!

[Circlepit]

I didn't realise I was having a midlife crisis until now.
Is this the manopause?

[Carnage]

Oh we're all there.

Getting tattoos, buying band T-shirts, listening to stuff I hadn't heard for decades, seeing my ex for a while, growing my hair out, going to gigs...

All stuff I hadn't done since my twenties. I'm sure a few of us are guilty of similar.

[astfgyl]

I bought a pair of white runners and that's when I knew it was kicking in. Also got back into the more energetic metal which I'd neglected for some years.

There's loads more but yeah I'm there

[Circlepit]

I'm guilty on all counts bar the hair.
I've actually decided I'm entering a re-self coolification period.

40 here, and not in the worst shape I've ever been in. Though I am tempted to join a gym for a few months at least to try to undo the effects of the last few years of a very fucking sedentary desk job.
Walking several times a week just ain't cutting the mustard anymore. Proper hardship is required.

I started indoor boulder climbing in January, just once a week but pushes me to do a bit of at home workout in between too and enjoy it more than gym  which I never really took to.

[astfgyl]

Could never get into the gym but I do like a bit of pull ups off the door frame and the like, push ups, planking etc. Had to give it a rest until lately because I broke my arm but getting back at it in no terribly meaningful way lately. Also ran one mile a few weeks ago which was some achievement for a 30 year smoker who gave up sports about 20 of those years ago. Thought I was going to die but I did get a little bit of that buzz I hear of lads getting when they push themselves.

For any of ye marathon runners here laughing at me 

[mishima]

I don't think I ever got into the gym myself either, so I can understand that, but I had essentially free access to one for a year about a decade ago, and weighted rucksack sessions on an inclined treadmill did great things for me. I'm thinking I could do with something similar a few times a week for a few months again.

Started that myself about a year ago, first few times I had muscles I didn't know existed aching, really works out your whole body.

Great fun though, and being able to work up through the grades makes it so easy to see your own improvement

I've got the Thousand Steps near enough to me and I have made that my workout in recent months. Hoofing up the cunts two at a time and running back down again. It takes around 30 minutes up and down and the lungs and legs are ripped out of me, so I reckon it's working. Fifty press-ups and fifty sit-ups most evenings to keep the old titties under control and that's about all I'm good for these days. Luckily I do physical work too which helps keep the tubbiness relatively under control too.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

That sounds like about 10 times more exercise than I get a week 

[Eoin McLove]

Yeah but you're naturally skinny. If I didn't do much I'd be a fat fuck. Even at that I'm still padded out for the winter. Manly, you might say... if you are being generous
