Here’s the bombshell quote from this story:

“Harvard research shows that just a half-hour of weight training a week does more to reduce your waist size than 30 minutes of brisk walking a day.”

It’s not always about losing weight.  It’s about converting bad weight into good weight.  And muscle mass does a hell of a  lot of good to keep you from going soft, or worse yet… fading completely away.  (See Gollum)

This feature from Details has suggestions on everything from keeping your eyebrow hair from going all Andy Rooney, to preventing some of the inevitable wrinkles, to what cut looks best during what stage of hair loss.

Moderation in all things though.  There’s a difference between taking some reasonable steps to fight looking older than you actually are, and going overboard and looking like a guy who’s terrified of aging.
