I'm also 55! I compete in Master's weightlifting: it ain't easy, but then I look at my peers who don't train and have succumbed to gravity. It's not pretty.
I would also add, 'find a purpose': it's much easier to train with positive short/long term goals (rather than LOSE weight) and alongside other people trying to improve.
good stuff.... yes, my hope is some of this content gets pushed to those who need to "defy gravity" and find exercise and lifestyle... or perhaps those who need a booster shot. Clearly, you are on the right track. Not sure about you but adjustments to intensity and recovery are key for me; the one thing that cannot be sacrificed is consistency -- movement of some sort everyday.
