@jaylee This is me LOL

@ms7dc Levels grass fed whey vanilla. Don’t even try the chocolate.

@the1stlady98 Dad advice. Avoid frustration by planing on only doing 1/2 of what you used to do. Kids need contact time and you only get one go around with each one. Make the most of it. On the workout front, when my kids were younger I biked a lot after I put them to bed. 8:30 -10:30 PM. I...

@bridgida If you have you tube check out Caroline Garvin. Don’t be fooled, the workouts crush it.

@bovinity Excellent intel⬆️

@radekm Not a pro here, and there are lots of very strong opinions on this stuff. So simply put, Ideal time to eat: Get some protein 30-40 minutes before or after a workout. Max protein intake necessary: No, but it is necessary to build muscle. You’ll need to up your protein intake...

@ryspi76 Work fitness into your lifestyle every chance you get. Park outings with 7 & 4 year olds. Walking 7-10k steps while they are riding something not battery powered. Battery powered ride ins have their place but they do not wear the kids out, or burn calories, like a scooter or bike...

@radekm Prepping your joints, tendons and ligaments for weight training is a great plan that pays big in injury prevention.

@mel101 Bowflex are great. Mine have worked flawlessly for many years. Always right there and still look good. Few drops of oil in the mechanism is all it takes. They are a little big - as in long. A petite person may find them a bit long. I’m 5 feet 8 inches and they could be a tad more...

@radekm You look great and will only get stronger. You don’t need to worry about getting too bulky, that’s not likely to happen at 38. You will build muscle and that is good because it will protect you for years to come and up you metabolism. To support the muscle growth and increase your...

@ajko Haven’t lifted in a year…. Start Stronglifts 5x5 and use tha app. All yoh need is a rack, bench, bar and weights. Start with just the bar and increase weight every workout for a perfect linear progression. As you are working through that you can explore other programs to step up to...

@calvinabume Way to go Op! Thanks for sharing your happiness and success. 👍

@unclemendy 54 here! Everyday workouts keep things oiled. You won’t regret it. You are off to a great start! Progress way slower than you think you need. Injury prevention is key. If I take a week off for vacation or something, I knock the weight way back to get acclimated again. You could...

@nedlm10 Well, few things. I struggle with joint pains. Have since I was 30’ish. Check your diet for food sensitivities. Go ultra clean on the diet and see if they go away. Diet can be a big contributor. Progress more slowly. The Strong lift 5x5 program recommends a 10 lb step every workout...

@newbeginning1996 I always warm up. First squat at 135 when the working weight is 185 seems like a heavy start for me. My working weight is right about 185 and my first sets are 65 x paused; 95 paused; 135 x3; then working weight. My warmup before j even touch the bar is 5-10 minute dynamic...

@jllll 52M here long time fitness advocate. I don’t sleep enough and I drink occasionally. DOM’s is at least a 3 day experience after heavy sets. Prior to 45 it was always a 2 day thing. Protein, sleep, active recovery, and lower incremental steps on my linear progression program help.

@nedlm10 On Creatine ? It’s the most studied and widely used effective supplement. If you happen to be mostly vegetarian adding Creatine is a game changer. If you are a daily meat eater, you probably have a bit extra in your system already.

@nikorasu95 That walk sounds great. If you follow the fitness>30 and fitness>50 groups, injury often comes up as a reason for sidelining fitness. It has also played a role in my progress after a vehicle accident where I was rear ended. It just takes so much longer to heal >50. Good luck! You...

@nikorasu95 Ok, what I read above is “got injured and never went back to it” Injury avoidance has to be a very high priority at our age. Whatever you do, do less and progress slower than you think you need to. Walk- not a leisurely dog walk. A fitness walk. Walk with purpose at a strong...
