I'm happy with these.

This was my oldest daughter on the cover. She exercised since childhood, had a bad relationship with food and the picture is photoshoped. Nothing in the magazine had anything to do with her.

But since you brought it up... The humane burpee/.

Link goes nowhere

To lower my blood pressure I went low sodium which means I eat little, if any, prepackaged food-like products or restaurant food. Meat and fresh vegetables. I have trouble getting 1200. I normally eat too much, how I gained the weight, but eating real food like an adult has me not getting a lot of calories. I'm dropping…

Some advice for older people from a highly respected strength coach on training for middle age and beyond/.

The farmer's carry is a self correcting strength exercise that forces you to walk with good posture. Pick up a heavy thing with each hand as if you were carrying two suitcases. Walk a straight line until tired. Set the weights down. Turn around, pick them up and walk back. If the weight is sufficiently heavy you will…

Never Gymless inexpensive and very good e-book. Who he is video.

Like any other form of weight training, the weight you use should be appropriate for you. Much of the free stuff you get from the internet/YouTube is worth exactly what you pay for it. If you can afford $30 you might find Kettlebell Goddess to your liking. Andrea DuCane is a quality instructor.

Choose a weight for your program (whatever it is) that allows you to do the goal reps with one or two reps left in the bank rather than a weight that makes the last rep truly the last rep in you if you are having recovery issues. When it feels easy enough that you could do three or more more reps, add a little weight. You…

My GERD went away with weight loss but it looks like you've got quite a bit to loose. Ask your doctor if s/he will perscribe "generic OK"? If s/he isn't in some kind of kickback scheme you'll probably get a yes to that. If you are still over 300 pounds walking and getting up and down (from the floor if you can, from a…

I've taken my pulse rate (and for the last couple of years, blood pressure since I'm now old) in the morning (every morning) for years with the idea that an elevated pulse rate is an indication of overtraining / lack of recovery. You might also check at the end of your workout and then 10 min and 30 min later to monitor…

Corn Huskers Lotion helps.

In a world where everyone wants free stuff this may not get a lot of love, it is a bit pricey. But if you are looking for strength training with dumbbels, this is worth a look. Dinosaur Dumbbell Training

Interesting. I usually do the workout when I don't feel like it because I know that I am always glad that I did afterwards. While doing the workout I think about what I'm doing. As much as I love music I don't want the distraction while working out.

The Aratheis reply is standard though there are variations with purpose.

There is a method that many people use successfully called greasing the groove (GTG) where you do a little frequently throughout the day. The exact opposite of sweat and puke. Google it.

Get a plan then. There are a number of good body weight exercise programs. A very good comprehensive and inexpensive source of quality information would be "Never Gymless" by Ross Emamait (internet download), "Convict Conditioning" by Coach Wade or something by the Kavadlos (Amazon or Dragon Door). There is free stuff on…

Can you jump rope? It's a self limiting exercise. Very limiting until your good at it. There is good instruction available if you are not already good at it. Like this.

Ever done Tabata? The thing is, the longer the workout the more likely you are to have to save yourself by reducing intensity to make it to the end. I'm old, there's no possible way that I could do an hour of hard work. Aerobics maybe, but not a heavy workout.

I think that it's redeeming value is that there is no rest that is not an exercise in it's own right. This version link is a bit more advanced. I'm always a bit skeptical of people chanting "science" as an appeal to authority but this looks like a standard non-stop complex circuit. Probably not what people who want to get…

That might be more actual exercise than many smart phone looking, socializing, long rest between sets and exercising people get done in their hour at the gym ;0)

It takes more with age. Don't get complacent, you'll regret that later. I learned that the hard way.

Sarcopenia. In physically inactive people about 0.5% of lean muscle mass is lost every year between the ages of 25 and 60. From age 60 on, the rate of loss doubles to about 1% per year. It doubles again at age 70, again at age 80, and then again at age 90. People who don't use their muscles reach the threshold of…

Seems like reason enough to do it. If you have a goal other than having fun it might help you choose the type of KB routine you do.

"Doing kettlebells" can mean a number of things. For some it is a heavy workout, for others it is an aerobic workout with a light weight thingy. It comes down to what your objectives are and what you mean by doing kettlebells.

From Andrea Du Cane's book 'The Ageless Body', "One of the biggest problems with getting older is the loss of muscle and strength, which is called sarcopenia. In physically inactive people, about 0.5% of lean muscle mass is lost every year between the ages of 25 and 60. From age 60 on, the rate of loss doubles to about 1%…

When I was in Marine Corps boot camp we did circuit training with weights twice. Our primary staple was squat thrusts, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, crawling, running, running with sand in our packs, fireman's carries with each other, rope climbing, wall climbing, etc. There are soooo many ways to exercise (for strength)…
