Methods of training can vary but one overall aim should never change-you should always aim to get progressively better.
This is a true measure of success and it’s not age dependent.
We have people in their 70’s and 80’s who want each year to add to their quality of life, through their exercise and nutritional programme and make it happen through steady progression in everything they do.
This state of mind encourages success.
I have met people who have been 35 years of age, and ready to give up on their bodies and want to somehow coast it to retirement! I kid you not!
This state of mind develops I think because they see so many other people doing it.
Changing your life for the better is not always easy, and many people’s experience of exercise is just walking into a gym and staying on a bike or treadmill at low intensity for 30 minutes or so. This is not going to be successful in really turning your body around and making you much stronger, much more flexible and more balanced.
Any exercise is great but surely we are capable of achieving more with your variety in exercise. The sad thing is most gyms put a load of machines in a room and expect you to figure out the rest? This is totally unacceptable in my view and you are paying a lot of money to have a guess on what you should be doing.
Not only is this unlikely to give you a good result, but it’s plain dangerous.
Before starting any exercise programme, make sure you have a solid plan that’s going to take you where you want to go. Also, make sure that plan is constantly updated to suit your progress as you go along.
Everyone develops at different rates, so your plan will change quickly along the way to suit your new found abilities.
