re: At what point did you stop caring about being super fit?

At 31 i'm certainly not in the best shape that I have ever been, but I lift 5-6 days a week and do some form of cardio 3-4 days a week. From 19-26 I was fighting MMA and competing regularly. Once I had kids around 26 I decided to quit fighting and focus on Jiu jitsu to preserve my body, but still scratch that competitive itch. Three kids later I can justify training 2-3 hours a week, so I pretty much just lift now. While I competed at 185-205, I currently weigh around 230, and can still dunk a basketball. I feel healthier though as I no longer have to cut weight. I try and stay as healthy as possible as my dad let himself go a bit in his mid 30's and had 2 heart attacks at 33. I said all that to say this...if you have children or loved ones, you should always care for; for them. You cant control everything in regards to health, but you should certainly control what you can.

I put more effort into this at 40 then I ever have before.
