New here and I'd just like to say Hi!!

Hi everyone,
this is my first post on this forum, I hope this is the right place for it. My name is Paul, and I just retierd after 35 yrs as an operating engineer, Im 56, married with three kids, two are grown and the youngest is almost there. Im in pretty terrible shape, but I want and need to fix that so that I can enjoy a long retierment. I've been pretty physical for most of my life, I guess I was about 45 when I let myself go, 11 yrs of inactivity can really take it's toll on a person! But the best part of getting back in shape is that it's NEVER too late. It seems as if there are a lot of knowledgable guys, and gals on this site, so I hope I can get some good pointers as I start back on the road to good health, and physical fitness.
Paul
