A bit off topic from the OP.
A thought has me a bit puzzled. Everyone says they have a: back day, leg day, arm day. I guess that one, they don't wanna get bored, I get that. Two they don't want to over work a muscle group. Additionally, I am not going to enter into a body building competition.
In the Army, we did a bajillion pushups everyday. Was that bad? I am thinking same for the bench, within reason. Can you plank everyday? Can you run everyday?
I say within reason. If you max curls to extreme failure, ya, not everyday.
I want to max efficiency, all body exercise with the least amount of time. The main goal is to lose weight and tone. I understand diet is an important factor. Input and output. I am in the losing weight stage. Once I reach my goal, then it is maintenance. For life. If your occupation requires a lot of movement, then there are not a lot of issues. I fly a desk and getting older.
A work out buddy of mine told me today that after 60 yro, you are screwed as to building muscle. Thus I am getting ready to be screwed soon. Though I am not into building muscle anymore, but more muscle = greater fat burning machine.
I am ready to commit to 30 min/day for the rest of my life. It might be tough at 90 in a wheel chair though. Racing?
Key is mental. Just open the gym door.
With that in mind and 30 min timeline, what are your thoughts.
