"ego lifting." Great way to put it. To be completely honest, I lift, walk, bike, etc to stay mobile and to stay a tier above my male competition at my age group. Egocentric indeed. After my divorce, and as years pass, women my age are meh. They're angry and have let themselves go. It is what it is.
If a woman is just a healthy body weight these days then she is already ahead of her peers. All they have to do is not get fat. I do like to add morning cardio in. I haven’t gotten back to that yet. I noticed a huge difference in my resting heart rate within just a few weeks. I also try to bike to the gym when the weather is decent. Getting older and learning what works well for you and what doesn’t is a big part of it. Just adding in small things via diet or exercise can make a considerable difference.
