Walking is the best exercise in the world. It’s hilarious how these young people think muscles are cool.

You have to have strength training mixed in with the cardi JJ to get the best results.

Every once in a while JJ comes up with a gem. If you are doing anything over 5 reps it is no longer strength trainning.

How many sets of 5 should we be doing in your opinion for strength training ?

The old school guys will always say 5x5 with 75% of training max. Always liked 4x5 going 25%, 50%, 75%, challenge set. Or if you not feeling it run a Russian leader at 75% up to 5. 1rep at 75% 2 reps at 75% etc till you reach 5.

Do you use free weights or use assisted machines ? Also just curious what is your 75% max lifting weight …

Nonsense for me, maybe if you're older.

I did the walking thing when recovering from surgery.

It is way over rated for our goals. Walking must turn to a jog before no time, but that type of activity still doesn't reach our goals.

Can not reach any of my goals with walking alone, and building muscles because they are cool is definitely not one of the goals but I do see younger people in the gym with that in mind.

This is not really true, but can depend on what is meant by and the goals of "strength training."

As long as you are working out to the point of muscle fatigue, you will gain strength. That includes lighter weights of 12-15 reps as well...which will also help gain endurance and even definition if that's the goal.

Always try to use free weights unless you have an injury. 75% of what you can do for a 1 rep training max ( very hard but not psyched up to do) Less is more especially after 40 you should feel better not worse after a workout.

Similar program as two weeks ago between Sunday and Monday, with some added excercises...

Yesterday I did the full circuit (not including legs)...

Internal shoulder rotation
External Shoulder rotation
Shoulder raises
Pushups on balance ball
Bench press
Incline bench
Decline bench
Flys
Military Press
Dubmbell rows
Row machine
Lat pulls
Shoulder shrugs

Sit ups

I did 3 sets of 15 reps each and hit all 630 reps yesterday.

Eliptical for 20 minutes with resistance.

20 minuted in massage chair
20 minutes on hydro massage bed

Getting ready to up weight as getting to #15 on some sets is a workout, but I can do it with a bit less rest than before. I am reaching the muscle fatigue, but am now in better shape to challenge those muscles little more.

I have gotten in shape and stronger over these last 6-8 weeks.

Today will be elliptical and leg training...

30 minute elliptical

Leg press
Leg curls
Leg extension
Calf raises

Good Luck to all those in the gym today...

Less is more especially after 40 you should feel better not worse after a workout.

I started with high reps and lower weight for a few reasons, injury is one, but also to see how different the circuit is on the body now that I'm older.

I hit the gym a lot when younger, but things are a little different not, though not as much as I thought they'd be.

I think the body needs more rest now, which I have learned as while some rest hasn't been planned, my body has forced it some days.

Everybody should do what they like, enjoy, and want to do. Once your ATP is depleted you are not going to increase your strength in any efficient way.

Never force it remember it is not what you can do it is what you can recover from.

Pretty wise words here.

Me hitting all 630 reps will be more impressive when there is more weight added. I'm right at that line of bumping up weight again.
