How do you feel you've aged? (piefed.social)

Are you radically different than your younger self? Are there key elements that have stayed the same? Most parts? Do you feel as if you've followed the "roadmap of life" or forged your own path? Have there been "chapters" or do things all sort of slide into one contiguous flow? Share what you'd like!

Early 40's and often get mistaken for early 30's. I think I'm doing pretty okay on the aging front. Having a daily skin care regimen from a young age works wonders.

The hair's starting to gray though, so we'll see how long it lasts.

I work out six days a week and I moisturize twice a day, after I shower and before bed.

That's it. Easy.

what workout do you do, high intensity stuff, cardio or more low key stuff? Do you use a single cream for your whole body, or seperate stuff for body and face?

[–] FlashMobOfOne 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I do cardio six days a week (treadmill or recumbent bike depending on my mood). I lift five days a week, alternating upper and lower body day-to-day. (so three upper body a week and two lower body) Observing your rest days is important and will actually aid in muscle growth and help you maintain a younger appearance.

I have body lotion for the neck down. I use separate face and eye creams, one set for daytime and one for night time.
