Now... The first one of you %$^#!'s that calls me Grandpa...
Anyone else here over 50? What do you do? I'm looking to turn it back up.
Did the military and the civilian LEO stuff for 25+ years, now on my third career. I've never NOT been in decent shape. I just think back to my Ninja days and the shape that I was then. I'm still in better shape than the average 23 year old, but like you guys, thats not enough.
Due to the recovery time, I'm down to about two, MAYBE three days a week (good week) in the gym. I run two to three days, and try to get a lot of walking in. Here is what is happening;
1. Gym: I must now work out smarter instead of harder. Years of hard mileage on the joints is adding up.
2. Running: Same thing... Smarter, not further. Mileage again. Getting old sucks...
When we move back CONUS in a few months, we're going to splurge and get a top of the line elliptical machine. No more running. I want to keep my knees. Eventualy, I want to buy a nice smith machine and some dumbells, then can the membership.
The worse part is the ^&%$ metabolism. Its stopping. I can look at a piece of pizza and put on a few pounds.
Anyone else out there??? Whatta do you do?
