Hi, I'm new here, and a 3 time a week weight lifter. I thought your first post was so true, and that weightlifting is an overlooked method of getting fit, better than running/cardio etc in my opinion.

It is so crucial to maintain muscle mass throughout life, especially considering that as you age you gradually lose muscle, and especially when you diet you lose it.

Some studies say that weightlifting improves ten or more bio markers for aging (reverses aging process), no other form of exercise is as effective at reversing the age process.

Lift weights and eat your protein people! please

Welcome drdowell!

I was lazy for many years and any muscle I had when I was younger, was long gone. My ultimate goal was to become fit and healthy and after two years of working out, my body is in better shape than it was when I was in my 20's, 30's, and 40's. My 51st birthday is less than two weeks away and the muscle that I am building is finally taking over!

I hope you will join me on this thread and begin posting your own workouts!

thanks for the welcome, sounds like you are doing great with building muscle and at 51 that is so admirable. I'm at 41 and feeling stronger each month.

I am curious as to if you suppliment your weights with cardio. I come from a P90x routine that had lots of cardio, and am hoping I can reduce all the cardio and still get good results with weight training, and just one or two cardio sessions a week.

Care to share your thoughts on that? thank you

I work out six days a week, alternating strength training (Bowflex) with cardio (Walk Away the Pounds, aka WATP). I have three different WATP dvd's that I use on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays, that total 10 miles. In November, I decided to try Callanetics and began using it three times a week too.

Out of the three workouts that I do, I believe WATP is the easiest so getting my cardio workouts completed every week has never been a problem for me.

I have found over the years that in order for me to become successful in what I choose to do, I must be able to enjoy it! I have days where I would rather not get my workouts done, but I really love the results and that is enough for me to get started and get them done!

Since you are trying to get yourself into better shape, I believe that whatever you choose to do will become beneficial to your health!
