What's the biggest fitness mistake people make after 40

I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this.

The older I get, the more I see people trying to get back in shape by doing way too much at once.

They start training 6 days a week, cut all their favorite foods, add cardio every day, and then wonder why they're exhausted two weeks later.

Most people I know who actually stay fit seem to do the boring stuff consistently for years.

A few strength workouts.

Some walking.

Reasonable food choices.

Decent sleep.

Nothing exciting.

For those of you over 40, what's been the hardest part of staying in shape?

And for the younger crowd, what do you think will be your biggest challenge as you get older?
