Ok, so right now I'm really dedicated to increasing my muscle tone and improving my physique. But I've also sworn that THIS TIME, my weight loss isn't going to be temporary; I consider myself to be in this for the long haul; I'm making changes that I want to keep going with forever (or age 85, whichever comes first ). So, here's my question: how sustainable is weight training? I sure don't see any 70 year olds lifting weights at my gym (even though there are a number of cardio and yoga devotees), and I think it would be really sad to watch all my efforts at muscle-building disappear the month after I stop.
Are any of you still weight training after 5 years? 10 years? 15? Are any of you over 60? If you're doing this right now to "tone up" during or after weight loss, have you given any thought to how long you plan to keep going with it?
Thanks for your thoughts.
