The DAY I hit forty my body went to heck in a handbasket! I've been on the Flat Belly Diet and I really think it helps. I really HATE to sweat so I am going to try more toning routines. I'm lucky I took ballet for alot of my younger years so I'm pretty flexible. The old fogey gym near me has been sold to Crunch and they have alot more creative classes. I'd really like to try pole dancing/work. It looks like fun and I understand it's quite a workout with toning. Good luck!
