Fitness and Bodybuilding Over 40...Why Is It So Hard?

Richard Sullivan, author of "Reclaim Your Youth: Growing Younger After 40" talks about the convenient myth that the older you get, the harder it is to stay in shape. Not true.

I think that it is easier after 40. Working out is such a huge part of my life, that is has become more than just a habit. I am also more focused on what I need to accomplish and on what I need to do to avoid getting injured. I'm more knowledgeable, more experienced, more motivated, less distracted, and mentally stronger than I was in my 20s. Keep up the good work. You're an inspiration.

I went back to college in my 40's. I already had a degree but always wanted to study Physics. I did SO much better when I was older than younger, mostly because I knew so much more, and didn't put up with the bullshit of professors. I realized that it was up to me to become educated, realized that the original college was terrible and transferred to where I graduated. The same with conditioning, and at 46, am in much better shape than at 25. Diet and even keel emotionally or essential.

Thanks for making this inspirational video. What you say about having better workouts than you had in your 20s rings true. I'm 48 and still pumping iron and bike riding almost very day. I plan to do so until my last dying breath. Never say die!

I agree proper diet is key! All natural is the way to go

Men over 40's dicks will fall off a lot easier than the young bucks if they don't exercise.

After being married for 20 years I started to get very fit in my mid 40's my wife did the opposite. She went to the gym a few times but never had the will to stick to it. I pushed forward and my physic is looking like I'm an amature bodybuilder. Now my wife is telling me how gross my arms look because my muscles and vains are bulging out.

Do I listen to her? Hell no, I havn't for 20 years so why the hell start now.

Don't listen to people that tell you you can't, just do it for yourself.
