I Totally 👍 Agree To My Best Friend Greg.

Appreciate this! I'm 52 and just stepped on the scale, it has been awhile from the last time I did it. I saw 210 lbs, I am only 5' 9". I saw that and was like "whoa!" Time to make some changes! Crazy to open up KZread and see your video of encouragement. God bless!!

I do cardio when cutting but when I’m bulking trying to gain muscle mass I cut out a lot of cardio just because it’s a struggle for me to eat the required calories to bulk already. When I do start back cardio after a bulk I can tell a big difference and it takes me a good little bit to get that cardio endurance back even after just a couple months of not doing it often. I agree, strength and cardio is very important in many aspects, not just defense. Great video and great topic KP!

Oh and “don’t have time” is just another way to say “I don’t prioritize fitness enough to make the time”. I’m in the gym at 4am every morning because that’s what my schedule allows for… it’s not impossible it’s just how bad you want it.

Good one brother, thanks for posting. It does get trickier as we get older. Like you say it is best to have a balance between cardio and strength workouts. Dont forget good diet - try to eat as 'all natural' as possible - chicken with vegetables from the garden is as all natural as it gets. While weights are good, dont rule out good old isometric workouts. Push ups, sit ups, pull ups...amazing how many people can do a few pull ups. So at 57 most people assume I'm 10 yrs younger. It doesnt matter I do it for the health of it. I started to keep in shape for long distance mountaineering trips - the idea is you want to make it back haha. I basically do 'maintenance workouts since I hit 55 - I jog a measured mile most every day, and through out the day sets pull ups. I go through kenpo martial arts kata sets and stretches. You got to make time and the way that worked for me is develop a daily routine and stick with it - you'll never forget to work out

My wife got hurt on a fly fishing trip South of Powderhorn CO up around 9,500 feet. i had to carry her for about a half mile and less than a hundred yards into it i realized I would be on a serious cardio workout after i got through it. The really sad thing was she was about 110 lbs and it felt like i was carrying a truck. Thanks for the video! Appreciate you Bud!

Turned 65 a few days ago. 2018, I was going to run into the house because it was raining. I pulled a ham string, fell and destroyed my left shoulder. I am now disabled and can only left 25 pounds with that arm. I still go to the gym, work out how I can but I do not run. Christmas 2022 until now I've lost 40 pounds. Can't lift anymore and having hip surgery to help with the arthritis. But, on a good day, I can walk 5 miles. Thank you.

I ran cross country and track in college and weight lifting was part of our program. Now that I'm older, mixing in lots of biking and hiking really helps the knees! Other people I know do swimming. I also really like hiking because it gives me a chance to test and practice with a lot of my outdoor gear.

Myself, I'll admit, back in January I was a fat, outta shape old man, age 63. Been a good 20 years or so I could walk a mile without sitting down. Blood pressure was in the pre hypertensive range and resting bpm was over 100. So in january I started with a treadmill walking at 3 mph for a mere 5 minutes. I still have the treadmill set at 3mph but am now up to 22 minutes monday - saturday with one day off. I just checked my bd yesterday and ir was 101/ 75, and bpm was 95 so it's working

May I recommend re: running, particularly for women imho: invest a rebounder (mini trampoline). I do “walk jogs” w/ 🐕 & rebounder jogs to complete those 10K+ steps/ day to get the cardio in. It’s SO much better on joints & lymphatic drainage, among other things! It doesn’t need to be a fancy model, either. I grabbed mine on a whim @ a Walmart years ago & ‘been jumping ever since :)

I down loaded a pace/steps counter on my phone, I set a goal of 8K. I exceed it often, however there’s days I don’t get 3-4K, I try not to make up for those days. Plus I don’t always have my phone so I know I’m close to 8K daily. I average 10K+ a day & have walked 272,*** steps & 107+ miles for May so far. I stopped eating all the fast food crap & I’ve lost 40-45lbs. Now I need to start stretching & lifting also sit ups & push ups, I cut out all the ice cream & snack cakes so I went from being 203lb down to 155-159lb @ 5’7”. It’s hard but not impossible bc if I can do it anyone can
