As men of advancing years, we are constantly trying to find ways to make gains, be as strong and fit as we used to be, and keep our declining energy levels on the up and up. I don't know about you, but at 48, I don't have nearly the energy I had 15 years ago [...]
I'll be the first one to admit that there are few topics when it comes to fitness more boring than the importance of drinking water.
