OFFICIAL WORK OUT THREAD

[hopper]

Anybody still gettn after it? Been a while since anyone posted. I got to start getting back into it I have let laziness creep in. Chasing animals has been my workouts but I got to be more disciplined in actually working out

Still at it myself. I stopped posting here for lack of participation. I finished the 2nd 8 weeks of liift4 and an on 7th week of liift more. This one is 40 min workouts 5 days a week vs the 40 min 4 days a week. I really want to stay with it laziness and procrastination has always been my downfall in the past when it comes to my heath. I'm still keeping up with eating alot better than I have in the past.
Shoulder day today and that was tough. I gotta keep it pretty light with shoulders but I pushed through.
Good Luck getting back to it!

Watched a show were the host went around the globe talking to 95+ yr old pretty active people. Besides a decent diet they all had one thing in common. Walking.

I'm in there everyday M-F, I have to to keep the habit up, otherwise the "tomorrows" will slowly creep in.

The gym I go to has lots of older people in it.
They are all very active and work on their balance and mobility, some can put me to shame on the treadmills and elliptical

Yes to the walking! I think I mentioned it before about the studies with Sardinian - maybe Corsican - elderly shepherds who walk miles every day (you know sheep and other grazing animals are always on the move) and eat light & healthy who are in great shape. The human body functions best when it's active & moving no doubt about it.

Happy New Years. No resolutions here just keeping on keeping on. Finished the liift more and started a 3wk 6days a week program along with elliptical 3 days a week. Wife finally talked me in to yoga last night. May give it a shot at night for a week or two. It's been mentioned to me by chiropractors in the past so what the heck can't hurt.

I have a brand-new calendar hanging up dedicated to fitness data & info and thus begins another year's worth of opportunity. Today's "exercise" will be taking down all my Christmas decorations so it will involve much lifting, stretching, balance, etcetera from various muscle groups so that is a good way to ease into a year of staying focused on being healthy.

Thanks for reminding me about those decorations. Guess I'm pulling the ladder out today or tomorrow.

I just finished the ladder work before any winds pick up.

My dad, age 82, took me, my boy, and my nephew to his gym over the holiday break. I shot a short clip of him workin' his abs. Exercise is good for the mind, body and spirit!

impressive! That's a tough exercise - many younger people can't do it.
You dad is awesome!

 

[basshappy]

@oldfella1962 thank you so much! My dad has always worked out when he is able to. The old 4 sport athlete he was back in his youth, coached wrestling and brought my brother and I into wrestling. I remember lifting weights with him in our utility room in my youth. And other than a few times of falling ill, he has continued to exercise and lift all of his years. Love him!

My Hero right there. Hope I'm that mobile at his age.

If I live to be 82 I also hope that I am able to exercise and be active.

Still after it.
To everyone commenting on wanting to be fit in their 80s.
What do you think you’ll have to do in your 40s, 50s, 60s to get there?

An average 50 or 60 year old will NEVER do that work. You need to be above average TODAY to be anything later…

Can you sum it up for me please?

What I tell my training clients (who are often 65 +) goes something like this.

The best time to plant a tree was 50 years ago….or today.

The best time to start working out was in your 20s…..or today.

He didn’t start working out until his 70’s and is now a champion rower at 93 years old with the body of a 40 yr old.
