Physical fitness is hard at 53 if you've been winging it your whole life. You never had to try hard to be active. Then 50 hits you and fitness becomes life. It is work at first and you realize that the only way to success is a habit change. An "Atomic Bomb" habit change that James Clear writes about.
If you do build the habit of daily workout routines then you will be discovering your body through work. The work put in at the time allotted for me is from 630 am to 730 am. The time allotment is all you need. Not the effort. The only effort it takes is going to the gym or your place of workout space. If 12 is hard on the elliptical, then do level 08. If 150lb bench is hard then do 100 x 50 pound benches. Do some intense cardio. Whatever you want? Play the first week. You are building a time allotment and habit for a lifetime of health and wisdom. All things take practice. Relationships, work skills, cooking, praying, reading, listening, waiting, loving, forgiving, all take practice. Compassion as a reaction is a humble man. I am not there yet but God is near!
