It doesnt mean i think i am old or out of shape. By any means. I actually think i am in better shape now than i was when i was 20. Its harder. I can still spare with the young ones, BUT it takes me more time to heal. When i wake up every morning either from doing mma or weights it takes me longer and i ache more.  My feet hurt for a while. My friends ask me why i still do it when i am almost 40. They will never understand. I have been doing this since im 8 years old. I had my first boxing fight when i was 8 1/2. And so forth until i broke my shin in atlantic city in 1998.  And i had to stop.  I have broken my fingers, toes, shins, knee, elbows and ribs. It s addicting and i love it. So i am happy to have found this website where people have the same passion as i do. They hurt and they still go to the gym. It can be raining, snowing or lightning nothing stops them. They will be there everyday. So when i say i want to be in the best shape of my life, i really mean it. i want to prove all my friends how wrong they are saying that you cant be in shape at that age. I actually think that is when you really start live. So that is why i am writing this post because i know that most people on this site will understand where i am coming from. matt
