TWOYEARS AGO LAST AUGUST ON A Saturday afternoon, “CriminalMinds” star ShemarMoore was soaring along —in life, in work and on his trusty bike in the cycle lane on a busy Los Angeles roadway—when a car slammed into him from behind. The telegenic actor was training for a 100-mile bike ride to benefit multiple sclerosis, an annual challenge he undertakes in honor of his mother,Marilyn, who was diagnosed with MS in 1998.Miraculously, he made the ride two months later—after breaking his left leg, cracking a rib and his collarbone, and suffering “pretty severe” internal bruising. The lifelong athlete emerged from
the horrific accident shaken but deter- mined not to take his well-being for granted. “It could have been worse. A lot worse.” After recovering fromthe injuries, the
onetime gymaddictwas determined to recommit himself to the gymdespite his grueling shooting schedule, and hitting age 40 eightmonths after hitting the pavement became an impetus for renewed vigor and success. “Going to the gymand being in shapemay sound triv- ial, but I always feel betterwhen Iwork out,”Moore philosophizes. And so lastDecember, theOakland
native—who turned a robust 41 in April—embarked on a five-day-a-week regimen that he hopeswill return himto top formas an action star and athlete who’ll no doubt keep hearing howso- not-40 he looks for years to come.

But it does not get any easier. Although I look in the mirror and I don’t feel like 41. Forty-one is just a weird number. I don’t feel old; I don’t look old. But when I try to exercise at the same level that I used to, I know something’s different. I was a guy who worked out five or six days a week, two
