Haven't seen the inside of a gym in years. Hard enough work just keeping this place thawed.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...1 -
Ok gents, let's resurrect an oldie. Going back 10 years i was 38 and in the best shape of my life. Lifting every day and got to the point where I was the strongest I'd ever been. Of course that was derailed by a shoulder injury and it was a great excuse to get lazy and fat.
November 2024 I was the heaviest I've been in my life. 252 pounds of fat. I made the decision to get back in the gym, shoulder pain be damned. 14 months later I'm 210 pounds and in great physical shape again. I limit barbell exercises and mainly focus dumbells and machines for chest now. I have another 15 pounds or so of fat to go and then will bulk again. I severely cut back on alcohol and improved my diet a bunch. It's never too late fellas. Life's too short, put in the work."I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."

That explains it! I noticed distilleries in KY closing and/or slowing way down. Now I get it!
LOL
Way to go, buster!

If the weather allows I walk three miles every other day. Nothing is flat here in these mountains so it's up hills and down hills on old logging tracts. Good cardio workout and I get to see critters every now and then. I've got a reclining bike, a pull down/pull out machine, a bench and a full set of dumbbells in my studio for the days I cannot walk. I'm 78 and still weigh 165 the same as I was when I graduated from Parris Island. Got to keep moving.

I had a surgery that required a month layoff that I turned I to 3 1/2 months, was getting winded walking the dog up a gentle incline. Haven't lost much strength but cadio is shot

Started back to the routine today. Have to agree with Todd and Randy. Taking time away from exercise, 6 weeks, the endurance fades quick.

Hoping to get state #30 in for my races. Run or walk 6 days a week and do body weight workouts every day and weights 4 days a week.

At my age, missing a day or two feels like starting over 😳

Last time I went to the gym was in June on my cruise in the Bahamas. I came home started my second job and couldn’t force myself to get up early enough to go. I think I’ll be quitting said job soon though(as long as no more surprises) and getting back to my routine before too long.

Better to be the oldest one in the gym than the youngest one in the nursing home.

Oldest in the gym isn't a problem here, we are all old, except when Grandma's granddaughter comes for a visit

You're off by the difference between Early and Late. But yes, I do look good for my age, thanks!
My paternal Grandfather, my Dad, and my three uncles on my Dad's side all died in their mid-60s to early 70's, from various health-related causes (no accidents). I am trying to make sure I get to enjoy more than 4-5 years of retirement.

Chain saw and log hauling today. Not as much exercise this winter as I would like, nor as much stamina, but it felt good to get my heart rate up 70 bpm beyond my resting rate (45).

- I'm in pretty good shape for a man of 101. This thread really has me thinking, maybe it wouldn't be bad to look down and see see what my toes look like again. If nothing else I wouldn't have to worry about falling asleep on a nice summer day and having the neighbors kids paint Goodyear on my side and tape a string to my navel.

Time spent exercising and lifting weights is time that could have been spent drinking and smoking.

Can't smoke and lift weights at the same time, i cough too hard and alcohol makes me fall off of exercise equipment.
