I remember seeing an interview with Hugh a while back where he talked about how its unrealistic to stay in any type of shape even close to Wolverine outside of being an Olympic athlete. But he also said that training for those movies changed his life and that he always keeps a high level of fitness now, I think he compared it to treading water then being ready at any moment to swim the lanes and get shredded.
He has shown that he has that level of dedication in the past. As others have said, there doesn't need to be a shirtless scene anyway... doesn't NEED to be.. also if this is following the actual time line, when would this be happening around? 5 years before his body is ravaged by the cancer causing adamantium? They could always weave it in that his body is already starting to break down somewhat significantly.
So many ways to spin it, his age/fitness level do not concern me at all, he will give a top notch performance and the dynamic between the two of them will make this a great movie.
