Enjoy listening to your podcast. I am a young 79 year old. I have been lifting weights at home. Take different exercise classes. I can carry heavy packages from the store. Don't want to be the frail old lady but a strong lady that can live a good life

My de-motivation has been trying to find a trainer that will take me to the next step without the 200g of carbs. I have had old injuries flare up out of nowhere when I tried the new eating plan and I haven't been able to get back into the gym since. It's been 8 weeks or so. Now it's just back into cleaning and movement and lots of walking. But my body would sing after weight training, I loved it! I need someone who respects where I come and who I am and has my back in this. Next week I aim to get back into the gym and see my hip goes. I was consistently going 4 days a week ! I had finally got there and then it came crashing down with this old injury. Just have to heal, be disciplined in my food and work my way back up to it.

I've been a strength and conditioning specialist for 17 years at a Division I school. Unintentionally many of these guys forget who their audience is and make things seem complicated. If you really want to understand what you need to work on, turn the noise volume down to zero and look up Starting Strength. Focus on: Squats Deadlifts Horizontal presses (bench press or dumbbell press) Vertical presses (military press with DB or barbell) Chin-ups (assisted at first, eventually unassisted) If you're young and want to work on more athleticism, add in some basic power cleans. It reminds me of when I first got hired as a strength and conditioning coach at the first university I worked at. I was showing the head S&C all my complex training modalities and programming. He looked at me with his old, grizzled expression and asked, "You know who is impressed with complexity?" Before I could answer, he said, "Stupid people." A decade and a half later, I have to agree with him. The principles are much simpler than you'd ever believe. It's the work itself that's difficult.

I use to like going to the gym, mostly when I was younger, had no kids and then one very young child. I could make the time for the gym, but my life would be more rushed and stressful. It takes more travel time to go to one that I feel is worth it. Now I have a bunch of adjustable dumbbell sets in different weights, a small barbell, one kettlebell, an exercise bike and some bands in my home gym/secondary living room. It's convenient and keeps me consistent. It's also a reminder when I see it every day. It defiantly makes sense for a lot of people to workout at home cost wise, people who struggle to make time or can't afford the extra stress/time for travel.

Thank you for this, I am still new to the Gym. I wish someone made this information available in Highschool or public school system from Elementary and College too. I remember as a kid always having Physical Education classes, and sometimes the Gym teachers were overweight and taught the kids about workout, they just gave instructions not demonstration the activity or exercises. Sidenote, my father was a P.E. and Highschool Public and Private Sport Coach, I remember he always fit and went to College for Physical Education.

I am 64 years old and workout at home daily. I lift 30-45 minutes and cycle at different intensities for an hour. What I would like to know is how to gain the best of what a gym has to offer at home. I think I have most areas covered, but trying to decide whether to add weight pulley system or multi station unit?

I just started listening to the podcast, and Don has already said the main tool for training - discipline. We don't always feel motivated to train, but discipline is key. My work schedule only allowd me to workout at the end of the day. Every day I wake up motivated to do my series, but life happens, and the end of the day comes, I almost always feel discouraged/not motivated. That's when we have to respect ourselves and start the workout. Discipline i doesn't come just at the time to hit the gym, but also when we maintain proper nutrition and hydration and quality of sleep to have the energy to workout.

Where can I find the dumbell program? Still listening to podcast and maybe u say later but couldn't find it below this podcast

@barbarafairbanks4578 12 күн бұрын

@lisahysell984 Maybe they are referring to Dr. Lyon's Forever Strong 6-wk Bootcamp (?) I kind of think so, bc I just got her 2nd newsletter on it - answering some common questions about the Bootcamp. The newsletter does state that gym access is unnecessary, but that access to free weights (e.g., 'dumbbells') will be necessary. The 6-wk program is behind a paywall, though. Fairly affordable, imo, as this type of offer goes. (but I did find it a bit out of my reach). I did ask about a possible low-income discount, and I got an encouraging answer... (hint - if that's something you'd need - I would encourage you to ask,as well.) The bootcamp begins next Monday 7/8. When I asked about a possible disct'd price, I simply hit 'reply' to the first email she sent (about a week ago) introducing the bootcamp, abd received an emailed response. The full Bootcamp program includes diet & recipes, a workout protocol, as well as 'mindset' (inspiration, encouragement, etc.) I have taken her classes before - which did not include a fitness protocol but was focused on her muscle-centric protein diet. Have to say, it was very well put together and I learned alot😊 Apparently, you are not subscribed to her newsletter? (I presume)? You can go to her website to sign up for it - or there may be a link for the bootcamp below this video ...not sure. She does mention - as an ad - the bootcamp in this video. So, yah, I do think that where they discuss a dumbbell workout in this video, they are referring to the Bootcamp program...in a sort of nuanced way. Happy lifting😊💪🏋‍♀️

Yeah, there's no value to alcohol. The momentary release of stress results in order's of magnitude more stress on the back end. Especially as we age. I'm 20 months alcohol free and never going back.

How is a 1-arm carry a core exercise? Anyone know?

@nicholeh1280 12 күн бұрын

If the weight is heavy enough for you, you have to use your core to counter balance the weight as you walk upright.

@lovinreginald 12 күн бұрын

the job of the core is to keep the spine/upper body in a straight/neutral/normal position. When you carry/hold weight on one side of your body, your core, if strong enough, will keep your spine in that straight/neutral/normal position. as the weight gets heavier, this gets really hard to do. you will begin to lean to the side of the weight and you will no longer be in that straight/neutral/normal position. I'm not the best at explaining this stuff... try holding the heaviest kettlebell or dumbbell you can with one hand and walk for a short distance while keeping normal posture. this is called a single arm farmer's walk.

@MarthaHenson-zp1kw 11 күн бұрын

My PT coach says the resistance from the opposite side of the body activates the core and improves balance....if, you maintain straight posture.

@barbarafairbanks4578 11 күн бұрын

@lovinreginald Yes😊 thanks so much for the extended explanation. I did Google this in the meantime,andd yes Google stated exactly as you've said. They did refer to it as a 'suitcase carry' rather than farmer's one arm carry - but Farmer's description fits as well👌 Thanks again for the clarification. Makes perfect sense to me now.😊

@barbarafairbanks4578 11 күн бұрын

@@MarthaHenson-zp1kw Thanks so much for the clarification😊 Makes sense to me now...but at first I thought WTH! how on earth could carrying a weight in one hand condition my abs?😮 ...well, turns out that it's actually the core that's engaged (I immediately mistook this for abs) - but still I think this would affect the abs, as well. But! Carry on the other side as well, hehe😅 - just to even things up.😄
