[QUOTE="Kash2001, post: 2349709, member: 17852"] Hi all, although not a gym monkey I've always done exercise since leaving school. Everything is a gym to me, a chair, lawn, tree it doesn't matter if its solid enough to take my weight 13.5 stone I'll use it. I use to train 5/6 days a week, inc quite a bit of heavier weights. I tend to use heavy resistance bands as it's kinder to joints and you get full resistance all the way. Now at 54, I am turning more to running fields and cardio still with weights to condition muscles and give them something to think of. For me, I recently found the benefits of this lifestyle and regime as I had a massive low and was unconscious for a while before being found. I'd just finished an exercise session but was knackered and laid down for a rest sign of age. Anyway wife struggled to get much response so she called an ambulance. I did recover myself with the wifes help just enough before they arrived. Anyway the paramedics were great and had a sense of humour, they did an ecg to check if heart was OK, they had to double check it and then hit it as the reading was of a 20 year old. One of them said I'd be happy with that myself Anyway I guess it just goes to show if you train right and are focused it can pay dividends. Look after yourselves, train hard and vary the routines massively as it helps balance out the body structure and system. Atb for 2021 [/QUOTE]
