Calling all libs and cons - help me change the tone itt

[FresnoGator]

Alright, guys and gals, let's take a break from the sniping, itt we talk about the things that have made our lives easier / better.

The post from @jsfgators about healthy lifestyles inspired this thread and I agree that eating healthy unprocessed foods and working out every day has improved my life, as have frequent and regular "appointments" with @gator1776 wife.

What other tips do you have?

There is no substitute for walking. The first textbook of medicine, at least the one that survived to current times, on the very first page stated clearly that patients that stay in bed die.

Everybody should walk as much as they can every day it’s incredibly helpful for your overall health.

I think walking is great, but a bare minimum. People who are healthy enough need to engage in load bearing strenuous exercise. Routines that involve squats, deadlifts, kettlebell swings etc are best. To me, jumping rope and various “jumping movement” exercises have the best results for the cardiovascular health. No processed sugar, no processed grains. Sugar and flour are the enemy.

Load bearing exercises may or may not be right for everybody. Prior to about 100 to 150 years ago everybody walked 3-4 miles a day. Everybody were to still be doing that walking upstairs that sort of thing we would be a healthier society.

That said, we actually live longer now than we did 100 250 years ago because of all the amazing things medicine has to offer 😝😝😝😝

Seriously though the biggest plague of the 20th and 21st century is sedentary lifestyle made possible by technology.

I said if you were healthy enough, do load bearing exercise. Would you agree that for people of an advanced age a fall is a leading factor in death. These falls are from loss of balance and inability to stop after tripping. This is from a loss of muscle mass. If you keep your muscle mass up while you’re able to, you won’t be as frail in old age. Load bearing routines also keep your skeletal system more resilient as well as connective tissue. Also keeps your metabolism right

I seem to never be able to find the time to walk...so I do 1 arm curls...MANY one arm curls. The only walking I do is when I need to refill my drink from the one arm curls.

At nearly 56 years of age, I gave up the thoughts of playing basketball, flag football and entering the River Run in Jax almost a decade ago. Walking and working out at the gym is what I've been reduced to. After 2-3 miles of hard running, my knee gives out.
It didn't help I had ACL reconstruction almost 30 years ago when I blew my knee out during a non contact game, flag football. I blew the same knee out again, this time playing basketball against my two sons.

I understand...but as good-looking as I am, I would rather have fun while I am here instead of being an incredibly good-looking corpse! I HAVE FUN! Life is short, and sometimes shorter than we expect. And I have cut back EXPONENTIALLY on the amount I drink from my younger days.

 

[jb1215]

Alot of walking, great nutrition, I hit a heavy bag, pushups, pullups, core work, alot of stretching, drink tons of water. No soda.

 

[LordofallSocks]

I swear by younger women.

The right exercise routine is very fun . A fit body is capable of doing more fun stuff. I’m a fitness and nutrition militant, so please excuse my being a little pushy, it’s out of love for my fellow humans

 

[Illegal-shift]

I hit the gym about 6 days a week.

With the goal being that it will give me more days to eat, drink and chase women.

 

[GatorTheo]

I enjoy getting exercise but eating right is a pain. I love a lot of stuff that's not healthy.

 

[FresnoGator]

I swim every single day for 20-25 minutes. Water temp. 72-80. Cool water helps the workout and I spend the workout doing most of my critical thinking as the cool water clears the mind and releases endorphins. Been doing this for years ...

😂 Roll it out to me more slowly. I didn't capice? I actually got stalked by several demon childs back in the day. What's weird, I had one text me a couple of months ago. From 20 years ago! I checked out the area code and she'd moved to the Atlanta region. Poor thing used to show up at the back door at work and bring cookies as a sacrifice. I gave them to the techs. They were smitten, but I gave them a stern warning..........BEWARE! 😂

Sometimes I wonder how much $$$ I'd have in the bank if I didn't have a snake and two cannon balls. I cringe when I think how much I spent in my 20's and 30's at bars chasing that dragon. I got even though with social media sites in my 40's though. I never had to play on a neutral field or on the road again. 😂

Where did you find him? I haven't seen him around here in at least a decade, maybe longer. That name is a blast from a nearly forgotten past.

I take 30 minute walks every day. At my age (mid 70’s) it helps me sleep, stay fit, and I count on it.
About ten days ago I was walking, didn’t see a rock on the cart path and tripped. Bad fall that cracked a rib, scraped my knees and hands and gave me a big black eye. That’s almost gone thankfully.
I’ve never fallen and this one isn’t due to frailty since I never have dizziness or disorientation.
As soon as this rib feels better I’ll be back at it. My diet is really pretty decent and I’ve never smoked. Not a boozer either.
I will definitely keep a sharper eye out for obstacles on the cart path. 🤓

Don’t you live on the Westside? Eewww,

TBH, I am not anti- abortion. I have many sins Father. Many. I'm sure I'll pay for that one day. Women are just so irresponsible, as well irrational.

How many times do I need to tell you I live just a mile north of Mayo Clinic near the ICW? I'm 2 drivers and a pitching wedge from Jacksonville Beach.

Yep I have mostly quit running but put some miles on a bike a few times a week and walk some. Back into weightlifting now but it sucks how slow the gains are at 56. I think weight training with some cardio is better for older people than just a bunch of cardio. Seen too many people in their late 50s/60s into that real long endurance stuff just drop dead all at once and most of them look old for their age also. Not sure if running and cycling etc that much is putting a cortisol strain on them or what but most of them get an aged look from it. Even seems to speed up the balding process in them.

At 56 you may be asking too much to see actual “gains” in terms of muscle mass. What it can do is maintain the muscle mass you have and slow the aging process. Probably want to look toward “conditioning “ rather than muscle mass gains. You won’t catch me doing the long endurance cardio type stuff. I think the high heart rate type movements that wear you out in 20 minutes is better for you. Different jumping movements, jump rope, body weight speed squats.

In my opinion, maximize results by making sure the walk is at a pace that noticeably elevates the heart rate and produces a sweat by the end. Add body weight squats. I think the squat motion is the most powerful in the entire exercise Rolodex. It will reverse the clock on aging.

Of course she’s a redhead…. I had no doubts

Eff squats and the horse they rode in on. I was fitter than a fiddle until I hit 55 and I religiously skipped leg day like it was the plague. 😂 I know plenty of olds who got serious back issue problems from doing heavy squats. They are saddled for life with them. Squats are for young athletes, and at best, they will just get fat asses and legs from that later in life. One of my brothers is afflicted with this.
