strength training

You Are Your Own Gym. Also if you are just starting out, there are plenty of you tube options like fitness blender. I think doing a simple 7-minute workout is a great place for people to start too. You can down load an app.

Here are a couple of programmes I like, and I did them when I was your age , older now, obviously.


Nerdfitness is a body weight routine that you do 3x a week on alternate days, you can do cardio on the off days.

I will emphasize take it easy and slow. We are older and our recovery time is a little slower, and nothing is more off putting than injuring oneself or going st it so hard we burn out and are too tired to live life.

Don't expect to complete the programme as written.
Start with trying to do 1 set of everything. And, don't expect to be able to do all the moves either. Push-ups can start against the wall, then a table or counter top, then chair, then stairs, and eventually you will get to the floor. Do the same with the other moves, start with what you can do working towards doing the whole programme as written.

Hasfit is a hand weight, dumbbells or household objects, programme that is aimed to take 15 min.

Again take it slow, if you find the video too fast (I did) watch it, make notes of the moves, then do it at your own speed.
Again, starting with one set, and light or no weight is fine.

I worked through these programmes and, once I could do them competently, and they were no longer a challenge, I moved on to a barbell routine. It took a while to get there, but I did.

Both Nerdfitness and HasFit are interesting sites with lots of info as well. Well worth a visit.

Go at your pace, but with progression in mind.

Cheers, h.
