I workout with weights 3 days a week, do intense yoga three days a week (both for one hour) and walk 3 to 5 miles daily. I am 75 and eat only fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, chicken, duck and occasional beef or lamb. I don’t drink alcohol and don’t drink sweet drinks. I am 5’10” and have maintained my weight at 160 pounds. I was on Lupron and Abiraterone for three years with a testosterone level of “undetectable”. I have been off them for a little over one year and now have a testosterone level of 100 and still get many of the side effects. I try to combat abdominal fat by doing 100 to 200 situps at least three days a week as well as other core strengthening exercises. Since none of this gets easier with age, the best time to start is right now. Exercise is a great antidote to fatigue and depression. Exercise is not only good for your muscles, it is also good for your bones and your mental health.

Same here. The last Eligard shot was over a year ago, radiation ended 2- 1/2 years ago.
I still get all side effects, and struggle some days on my 2 mile walk. I think with many of us, it's permanent!
