This is interesting for me to see. For the longest while I was wondering why through my 40s and later I didn't seem to be hit with middle-aged weight gain, all while living my sedentary life in the computer chair. I wouldn't classify myself as average though, I've always had low heart rate/low blood pressure and low blood sugar. Swimming in salt-water is fun because I can float without much effort.

I did notice a decline in metabolism/muscle mass in the past several years, so I took to walking rather than driving in the city/neighbourhood and eating more and regularly which seems to have brought my levels back up somewhat. Now I look like someone who only goes to the gym on leg days.
