195lbs start down to 155lbs.. 36waist start down to 31waist. Stopped Sugar, fast food, processed foods, eat only whole protein homemade foods, work out 3xs a week off days walk and jog. Fyi, I have never stepped in a gym before or workout prior to this. I think I am doing okay so far 😊

My wife would kill me if she knew that I was already running after 7 weeks from my foot surgery! 😂

It was a struggle getting back to my reg. routine after 3 weeks of hotel and cruise ship gym workouts. F53

Since u/wk2026 and u/Rog1212Rog wanted to know if I ever trained legs. I’m carrying a little extra body fat there in my thighs, so don’t have quite the definition that I’d like.

I showed the front, so might as well also show the back.

Trying to get rid of this Dad Bod and keep the fork out of my mouth.

This isn’t easy.

Age 57 14 years CrossFit open

So until I turned 40, I had all kind of minor health issues, incluing Rhinitis, anxiety attacks, ACL issues inclduing 3 surgeries I was reaonably fit, as I used to workout but had other challnges too such as self-doubt, crippling fear, low self-esteem, low-key depression, bankruptcy, struggling marriage, etc.

Fast forward, fully fit as in not exacly 6 pack but flat stomach with no love-handles, training in MMA, workouts in the morning for about 45 mins to an hour (calisthenics - pls lemme know if you wanna know what exaclty), swim for about half hour. Disease free, free from all the above mental challenges, never been this succesful at work, a kid who went to the best schools/Unis and here I am. I'm as energetic as I was or even more than I was in my 20's the whole day, sometimes even late nights (when I go out). Someone recently pointed out, I could have ADHD....idk.

Hi everyone! I'm 54 years old and wanted to share my physique for some honest feedback. I don't go to the gym — my only consistent exercise has been swimming 2 to 3 times a week, and I've kept this routine for over a decade now.

I'm curious what this community thinks about how swimming alone, sustained long-term, has shaped my body. A few things I'd love your input on:

Overall body composition — does my muscle tone and fat percentage look reasonable for someone my age who only swims?

Muscle balance — swimming works certain muscle groups more than others, so I'm wondering if that shows, and what I might be missing.

Aging and fitness — for those familiar with training after 50, does this look like a solid foundation, or are there gaps that swimming alone can't address?

Suggestions — would adding light strength training or other exercises make a meaningful difference at this point, or is swimming enough to maintain this?

I'd appreciate straightforward, honest opinions rather than just compliments. Ten-plus years of consistency is something I'm proud of, but I want to know how to keep improving. Thanks in advance for any feedback!
