Are you in better shape than when you were younger?

Helena Christensen, who turned 40 on Christmas Day last year reckons she is.

‘Age in itself doesn’t freak me out. I’m in better
shape than I was at 25 because I’m actually doing something physical,
which I never did until two years ago because I was way too lazy.

‘I
try to go boxing twice a week and I run, but after exactly 21 minutes,
I’m ready to lie down and vomit. I’m super-lucky with my metabolism.

‘I eat more than anyone I know, so I have to be realistic – that might not always be the situation. That’s
why I chose really intense training. It was a question of, if I want to
continue eating that much, I need to balance it out.’

Are you in better shape than you were when you were younger? I’m a
different shape. Not sure if it’s ‘better’ or ‘worse’ or just
‘more-muffin-like’.
