PS. If you're serious about getting into fighting shape, nothing beats a few months at a Muay Thai camp in Thailand. That is if you can take the time off of work and you can stand being away from your family. Or if not, go during your kids' summer vacation and bring them along! They can go off and do tourist stuff (or take Thai language, cooking, or whatever classes) while you train.
There was a 36 year old Aussie guy training and competing when I was in Chiang Mai. He lost his first bout (ever) to a Thai fighter, but he lost by decision. He lasted the full five rounds!
