Mr Britain

Is it still possible to start bodybuilding in your mid forties?

I haven't exercised in years plus i'm overweight and type 2 diabetic. I want to turn myself around and bodybuilding really looks like it fills my needs. I am now nearly 45 and I must do something! I need to lose weight but I also want muscle.

1. Yeah it's possible. A 74 year old grandma is a bodybuilder so I bet you could too.
2. Yes, but it won't be easy thought. If you drink Alcohol, smoke, or fat then you going to have some really problems, check with a doctor first. I really recommend that you check with a doctor otherwise it might get ugly.
3. ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! Six years ago when I was 46 years old, I lost 86lbs and gained muscle. I had a personal trainer for 11 months and he showed me how to use the machines and also kicked my ass. Best thing I ever did, worth every penny. I highly recommend it. I still go to the gym and use the machines and do cardio. Don't feel 52 at all!! Good Luck.........
