41 year old Dara Torres

I agree with you, and perhaps I was assuming too much, but I figured he has a demanding job, since someone has to pay for all the swimming costs (and I'm sure Dara has sponsorships and is getting bigger breaks now, but I doubt it has always been so).

I think you just put your foot in it, again. :blink:

In my mouth or in something else? I do both, on a fairly regular basis. 😀

You are right, I did not realize that she is independently wealthy. But I remain somewhat cynical, in general, about the whole thing. :idontno:

Not to take anything away from her, but the copyright on the Maxim photo is 2000. That ain't no 41-year-old. 😀

My bad, Wikipedia said they were married. :bang:

Since she was breastfeeding her daughter 15 minutes before swimming the race that qualified her for the Olympic trials I don't think she's that neglectful of a mom. ;-)

I just wonder how she managed to keep her breasts so "fit" if she breast fed:idontno:

"old-school fit?" They weren't fit like that in the old school. I'm with Gypsea, I'll take the massage therapists. Just think, that girl doesn't get to each much fun food. She probably does a can of tuna with a baked potato for lunch every day. BORING.

She swims 5x a week for 2 hours, weight trains 4x a week for 60-90 minutes and does resistance stretching for 2 hours (don't know how frequently so I'll say 5x), which adds up to 26 hours a week of training

Interesting that this is just about the same amount of time everyone else spends watching TV! I'll be thinking about that next time I watch the "Biggest Loser" instead of going out for a run! :lol:

"According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day (or 28 hours/week, or 2 months of nonstop TV-watching per year). In a 65-year life, that person will have spent 9 years glued to the tube. Compiled by TV-Free America; 1322 18th Street, NW ; Washington, DC 20036 (202) 887-4036 "

Your comment reminds me of a similar thing. Not long after Hershel Walker won the Heisman, he was interviewed, and he stated that he never lifted weights in his life (though he is well-built). I was rather amazed by his remark. He continued, saying that growing up, he watched a lot of TV, and every time a commercial came on, he got off the sofa and did push ups and sit ups until the commercials were over.

Rather than working out for 3-4 hours a day, just try to the Hershel Walker method, and you should be good to go.
