#1 I work as a server so have to move
#2 I eat relatively healthy food such as salads and meat etc
#3 every day I travel up and down the stairs in my house
#4 I walk as much as I can
#5 I lift weights (however I do so to stay fit and not so0 much beefed up)

In case you are wondering about #5 -I will work with computers in the future and looking like Arnold aint exactly my thing. Secondly it is a natural thing for your body to start loosing muscle. All men do.. even Arnold. body turns muscle into fat and skin into stretchy thing. The only way to beat this is to excersise in exccess of what you are now.. maning raising the bar for yourself not on a weekly basis but on a daily pattern.

huh? muscle doesn't magically turn into fat. as for stretchy thing, maybe thats a technical term I'm not familiar with

I play tennis once a week and lift weights twice a week ..

fat does not turn into muscle. that is such a common misconception. when you lift, your muscle fibers tear slightly. Hence u get that burning pain sensation after u lift. that is why it is so essential for protein intake when u lift. the protein repairs the fibers and fibers are built on top of one another. building muscle.
