Hi Joe, I just wondered what happened to everyone on this thread? It was pretty hoppin' when you started it, now there doesn't seem to be much going on!
Hoping to get to the place where I can legitimately join this thread. Right now I am doing the Launchpad exercise series to get myself to the point where I won't injure myself. I do know that it's possible to cause muscle, tendon & ligament damage by overdoing before they are ready for it. Currently I am beginning on Stage 3-1. I am also cycling on the days I do Launchpad. So far I am up to 2.25 miles/17 minutes cycling. On the alternate days I walk those same 2.25 miles in about 45 minutes.
Anyway, I appreciate your wanting to help older ones improve their fitness, and when I am training to the level where I break up upper & lower body workouts then I will get on board here.

People come and go. Some people got to their goals and others just stopped logging in. Just how it goes. Whenever you want to join it, please come along. I do this for myself mostly and to let others know that a professional is on the boards in case they may need some advice.Hi Joe, I just wondered what happened to everyone on this thread?

Okay, that makes sense. Too bad, this seems like a great thread. I will probably be picking your brain as I continue to up my game. Don't have a fancy gym, but I can be surprisingly inventive when I need something. Thanks for letting a complete spud on your line
Today's exercise was cleaning continuously for 2 1/2 hours at our place of worship. Scrubbing walls, moving heavy stuff around, carrying buckets of water, lots of back and forth, up and down a ladder, etc.. Not sure how one separates the strength from the cardio on that??? Assessment: I did good. There was pizza (one slice), there were donuts (NONE), coffee and water. Way too few calories so finished off with leftover pot roast at home, still need more calories so yogurt it is.
Whatcha recovering from Joe?0 -
Being clipped by a car, YIKES! Hope you're feeling better after the chiropractor worked you over.

Happy Humpday! 4 clients this morning and then 5 tonight! It's crazy here in CA with PGE shutting down power for up to 5 days in some areas. Luckily for me, my area isn't affected.

Cardio: my job cleaning house 2.5 hours
Strength: Launchpad 3:2
Assessment: Got my whey and made a blueberry smoothie this morning. Need to dig out the frozen bananas to add some calories. This is so weird, I am not doing keto or low carb, but I am just not hungry. Exercise has become what I crave, in only 50 days! It's probably a good thing there isn't a gym close by that I can afford or I think I may have become a gym rat! Not husband approved!
Had flounder for supper and a baked apple with cinnamon and a dollop of heavy cream. After workout snack is Wasa crackers with pesto.0 -

Good afternoon Joe!
Cardio: 50 minutes walking briskly
Strength: off day
Assessment: Better today, still under but much closer.
Question: Joe, can you steer me to some good resistance band exercises that separate upper and lower body workouts? I have no idea how to put together good beginner's workouts. I just have to be careful of my knees, so semi-squats are all I can manage right now. Getting down on my knees for pushups is also no go, but I can do wall pushups and maybe could do chair pushups. I absolutely can do flyes, bicep curls, bent over rows, tricep extensions, etc. But I don't know how to refine that so I don't overwork one muscle group just because I like that particular exercise! Also, how can I work my legs keeping in mind my knee limitations?
Sorry this is so wordy! Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Oh yeah, I got Bodylastics bands, and they have a pretty good booklet of exercises in them, I just don't know how to pick which ones. I don't think you're supposed to do ALL of them the same workout! There are 34 of them!0 -
Keep doing those for the upper body. Keep the reps about 10 and do 3 sets. As for your legs, there are a couple of exercises I recommend. Sit squats and assisted squats. On a sit squat you find a chair or flat seating area, sit near the edge, keep your feet about shoulder width wide and just stand up and then sit back down.Good afternoon Joe!
Cardio: 50 minutes walking briskly
Strength: off day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVpojWs8lQg The other would be the assisted squat. Here you hold onto something stable so you don't fall backward and then keeping your feet in front of you and leaning back slightly with straight arms, you squat and use your arms to help. TRX bands are great for these of you can get them. You can get knock off brands for cheap that just attach to your door. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5jstlKyaw4 The knockoff brand I got from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/NOSSK-Suspension-Bodyweight-Fitness-Trainer/dp/B0785XB1NQ/ref=sr_1_50_sspa?keywords=suspension+trainer&qid=1570797743&sr=8-50-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExSUxYNVZOMTRYUjRBJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTMyMTA3M1FHVVVSRlQ3SVpCRSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjc2MjA1R0NOTkEwTTE4UVgwJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmX25leHQmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl Or if you can hold onto to something stable, here's another variation.
