When I was younger, I exercised relentlessly spending a couple hours at a time in the gym a few times a week. The older I got, the more toll that took on my system - screwed with my hormones, increasing the stress hormone cortisol, among others which negated what I was trying to accomplish. etc. Now, my routine is much less punishing. Tai chi, yoga, gentle strenth training with free weights, combined with low impact cardio. It's been a good switch for me.

@LadyBronte Your body was telling you to slow down and you took heed of it and now you do what you can and still maintain a fitness level that is adequate for your needs 👍
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Nimbus Yep. Exactly right!

When I was at Planet Fitness, I used their "Circle Room". Filled with machines in a circle that target each muscle group. But then when I got home, I would walk my dog up and down the hills of Plymouth, and all round town.

I guess that was a combination of circuit training and weight training.
Nimbus · M
@4meAndyou Great way of keeping your dog fit too! :)

Earlier this month I hit a milestone - working out for 1500 straight days for at least a half hour.

My favorite? Every morning I workout on the elliptical. Average time 35-45 minutes. Average heartbeat 140-158.

Between June and October, after the elliptical I’ll do a cool down swim of 20-25 laps.

I also do martial arts 1-2x a week. I’ve done a bunch if different arts over the years, but my current passion is Kali. It’s a Philippino art that’s essentially stick and knife fighting.
Weightlifting= Dumbbells alternating days , Cardio= treadmill always.

Flexibility and mobility workouts= Alternating days of jumping jacks on cardio day.

Every single gym day= Mountain climbers.

Why mountain climbers? At one point my belly started very subtly protruding over my jeans. With mountain climbers not only did I lose my weight I not only have a slim stomach but a toned one too.
@Nimbus Just a man with an irredistible figure 😇

@BritishFailedAesthetic The modesty goes with the poise no doubt ;)
@Nimbus I'm modest... just like I'm very scared of offending people on here 🥺

I do a bit of everything.

5 x a week of "Insanity : The Asylum", which is a combination of strength training, HIIT and Sports drills.

2 x a week of sprint interval training.

3 x week of Jeet Kune Do - Boxing, Wing Chung, Taekwondo and Jujutsu styles of fighting technique training.

Keeps me nimble. Keeps me fast. Keeps me strong.

Shopping at 3 more stores on the same day, my type of walking these days. I used to like to go on walks around the neighborhood one or more times a day.

Up until a couple of years ago it was weightlifting and power lifting.
Kettlebells for conditioning.
Now I need a new shoulder so the weights are off the table for now.
Nimbus · M
@Adrift I'm sorry to hear that.
I hope all goes well 👍
Adrift · 61-69, F
@Nimbus It seems like everyone I know at the gym has had some kind of replacement.
Especially if they do strong man.
The old childhood song of head shoulders kness and toes now becomes, wrist, shoulders, knees and hips.

@Adrift I shouldn't laugh 🤭
