I'm 48. Is it too late?

I'm 48. Is it too late?I started working out when I was about 17. I'm a small build and I never really built massive muscles - that wasn't what I wanted anyway. I just wanted to be fit and toned. For most of my adult life, I was. At 40, I moved to France after a year living and working in Asia. Working out in France turned out to be more complicated than anticipated. My job didn't give me enough time, gyms are insanely expensive -at least where I lived- and slowly, I stopped going. I moved back to Canada 2 years ago. Re-establishing my life, finding work, renovating my old condo, etc., and I just didn't have the energy for anything else -I know, excuses, excuses... But now I just started a new job with the government, with government hours (lol) and I have plenty of time to go back to the gym. What worries me is what happened to my body in the 8 years I didn't work out... I'm still a small build. Fully dressed, I still look like I have a teenager's body because I remained very slim. I didn't gain much weight but I can feel how my body has lost strength, tone and flexibility. My boyfriend is 13 years younger than I am and in some silly vain way, I want to slow down the ageing process, feel good and look good for me and for him. Is it too late to get fit again? Can I still develop some muscle mass? Am I too old? At what do you stop developing muscles? submitted by /u/the_berg [link] [comments]
