Did you know that we women begin losing half a pound of muscle a year starting at age 35? That means that so far I’ve lost… well, we won’t go into numbers because I know you know how to do math and it is my policy not to age and tell.

The point is, it sucks. The good news is, you can stop or even reverse the muscle loss with weight training. This according to exercise guru SHARON MANN.

Cool. That is if you have the time and inclination to lift weights on a regular basis.

Know who does? Madonna. Apparently her fear of muscle loss has reached PHOBIC LEVELS.  I mean, look at those arms! Too bad the fillers she uses on her face can’t be applied to her limbs. Someone needs to tell her that she can’t LITERALLY “FIGHT” AGING, so she can let up on the Military Presses already!

Granted I want to look good when I turn 50. But, is this really good? Remember during their ugly divorce GUY RITCHIE said that having sex with MADONNA was like “cuddling a piece of gristle.”  Ouch! That’s gotta hurt. Both of them, apparently.

I don’t know about you, but looking at this picture kind of makes me feel better about my squidgy, muscle- losing self.

Maybe there’s something to be said for this whole AGING GRACEFULLY thing. Eat and exercise in moderation so we stay healthy and able to keep up with the kids. But don’t fight nature tooth and nail… and sinewy gristle. Well, unless you’re vying for the part of The Cryptkeeper in the new big screen version of Tales From the Crypt 3-D. Then by all means, claw away.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? GOOD OR BAD? SEXY? SINEWY? MEN! WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU ABOUT THIS “LOOK”.
