It’s not hard for me to get a better than average physique, really.<\/p>\n
I mean, it’s not hard at all, when you consider that the average man my age doesn’t exercise.<\/p>\n
And I do really think that. I honestly think that putting forth any effort at all automatically puts me in the top half. I mean, I have no idea what people are like in L.A., but out here… yeah. Nobody my age really exercises, I think. I mean, not regularly. Certainly not to the amount that I do, even with calisthenics and light dumbbells.<\/p>\n
So, exercising at all puts me in the top half. Exercising a decent amount, say, like half an hour a day on average, puts you into the top third. Meeting the government recommended two sessions a week of strength training of any kind, combined with good cardio, puts you into the top 25%, or maybe higher.<\/p>\n
Note that these are just my guesstimates. But I mean, we live in a country where the average adult is obese. Not even overweight, but obese.<\/p>\n
This is why I think mastering pilates puts me likely into the top 10%. I mean… pilates isn’t that hard, really. I mean, not compared to marathon running or serious weight training. But it’s something, and something is all you need to be exceptional, it seems.<\/p>\n
My BMI is “average”, which, oddly enough, puts me firmly in the “above average to very good” level of physical health, just by itself. Being toned and fit while maintaining a normal BMI probably brings me to “very good” level, IMO.<\/p>\n
Not that hard to do.<\/p>\n
So, I will continue on the present course I guess until I max out, and then I will decide. I mean, I don’t know about anything further. I mean, I’m not sure how much gain I would get from a gym membership at my age, considering what I can do on my own. <\/p>\n
Which, come to think of it, is kinda my problem in general, it seems.<\/p>\n
