My dad had his first heart attack at age 56. I was 12 years old. A couple of years later he had his second heart attack. A few years after that he had open heart surgery. The message from the doctor was if you don't eat healthy and exercise you're going to die. He started doing both. Ultimately he lived to be 77 and died of lung disease, not heart issues. This all got my attention in a big way.
Really don't think I've ever been out of shape. I weighed 165 when I graduated high school and weigh the same today. Max I've seen is close to 180... when my wife was pregnant - due to helping her with her cravings. Can't quite bring myself to post a shirtless selfie on the internet, but will say that at 2 months from being 53 I'm pretty happy with my health and appearance.
