I'm 60 and can promise you that it is not metabolic or genetic (well maybe to some degree).

I have a heart rate monitor (Wall-Mart now sells them cheaply) and wear it when I bike, walk, or do anything like exercise and it has helped me retrain my thinking about exercise.

Yard work and house work can be great forms of exercise if you keep your heart rate high.

I use to be a running nut and was always very skinny. Due to foot injuries, I now ride an old beat up mountain bike. It is hard to get skinny no matter how much I ride, but dieting helps.

I bookmarked the Crossfit site and This guy has the shape I've become

I used to be a skinny guy, but I had a career change about 8 years ago (from construction to big truck driver) and my wife went home 4 1/2 years ago.

Both, I know, are elemental in the physical activity (or lack) I experience.

When I drive, I drink coffee and snack on carrots, cukes, etc (I'm going to change my name to Harvey)
