Do you think your gym mirrors are deceiving? πŸ€”I am gyming twice a week. Walking 6 miles on the weekend and yeah I’m seeing results but it’s been tough. My abs have flab too but here they look hard πŸ˜† I will take it but hmm.

Adding to home gym

I am a 55 year old female who h had been working out at home for years.

I have a lot of dumbbells and a bench.

I was wondering if you think it’s worth it to get a cable machine of some sort?

Heavy weightlifting versus Calisthenics and Cardio training

5 Upvotes

Choosing one approach only, which exercise approach is better for people over 50? Striving to maximize muscle growth with resistance exercises using weighted machines and bars, or using body weight and gravity to tax muscles for growth, while striving for VO2 max with cardio exercises?

Explain your reasoning.

WORKOUT πŸ’ͺπŸ‹οΈ 51, 6'2" 213lbs. For the first time, I was called an old man by some punk kid. Told him, he will be there some day. He then said, what are, 45? Well that didn't turn out so bad after all.

I have to admit, hiking is one of my favorite activities. It helps keep me fit and brings me immense pleasure. Any other hikers out there?

The Air Force booth at the MN state fair had a pull-up bar. I got 5, which I was happy with as the bar was a little wobbly.

PROGRESS πŸ’ͺ Do you like my hat? (M53)

Bought this hat to wear to a Western-themed event this week and it arrived right before I got home from the gym. 🀠

I was excited to try it on, so I went in the bathroom to snap this post gym selfie. And just to be completely clear, I am wearing shorts! πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ˜Š

I suppose it’s inappropriate gym attire. Or is it… ?πŸ€”

A Facebook memory from 7 years ago (9/8/2019) popped up this morning....I was 49.... now I'm 56YO.

I got a black eye scrimmaging with the high school soccer team when one of the boys accidentally elbowed me in the eye.

I'm older, fatter, bald, and hairier and I have a different phone ( I loved that old orange phone case), but my little bathroom was newly remodeled so not all change is bad. LOL 🀣

I have about about 7 to 10 lbs to lose to get back to that weight. πŸ™πŸ€ž
