I'd be interested in your background, Vicki. I'd be very surprised if you were entirely sedentary from 9 to 49yo.
I believe our genes trump anything we do. I did well in that department, not great, but better then most.
In high school (gym required) I did not run fast, throw far, or jump high. I was never last picked but near the last picked for the sports teams. I liked swimming but did not have a pool available to me often. In college I did not have a car and got around on a bicycle. In my 20s & 30s I tried gyms a few times but did not enjoy them or find them engaging, a drag. I fought weight gain being on the heavy side of normal. A few part time jobs I held were on my feet all day. My 40s were not good and I gained weight and gave up, accepting I would be fat for the rest of my life. At 48 I decided to at least be healthy and researched health, exercise, weight training, etc. I found DaveDraper.com. I learned about exercise and the joy of strength and movement.
I would probably be better off if I had been trained from a earlier age. Or maybe I would have worn myself out or broken myself had I worked at this exercise training from a young age. It matters not, I am who I am now and very grateful to DaveDraper.com. I am considered a very healthy senior.
My point is to never give up, always realize you have choices. Choosing the best path will gain the most rewards, though usually not the easiest path.
