fitness after 50

Completely new to Reddit and I can’t seem to share any progress pics but just happy to be here. Over the last three years I lost over 60 lbs and I started doing Lagree Method workouts in January and my body has changed so much! I am absolutely loving my 50’s!!! Best decade yet!! 🙋🏼‍♀️

I'm not going after it aggressively, and it's great just seeing it go down bit by bit. I am 58m, 5'11". This cut started at 207, and today I was at 202. I'm not counting calories (not against it), but I am using principles I learned from losing 30 pounds 2 years ago. I also lift weights 5 days a...

I’m a 50F, divorced, not dating, no kids, just me and my two cats. Happily living a newly quiet life after a lot of drama, and now I’m looking for motivation to get up and workout before work. I work 10 hour days as a nurse so it’s difficult to workout after work. There is a planet fitness by my...

What’s optimal for a 50ish year old male? The PPL would be regimented and at a challenging level.

Gave up soda completely 3 years ago. I drink 1 liter water bottles and put a crystal light packet (for a 16.9oz bottle) to give some taste. Can’t drink 4 liters of plain water everyday. Wife says I’m not getting the proper amount of water and I disagree. I place this in the hands of the all...

Just want to toot my own horn a little bit that I have been grabbing heavier dumbbells (12#) for fitness classes, and today I used a 14# and 20# weight ball too. I am getting stronger. I can almost do a real, full, on the toes toes push up. Later this summer I want to move up to 15#...

53 years old. Did CrossFit workouts ( owner was adamant it wasn’t CrossFit. Lots of strength based functional movement). For 4 years. Really liked it, saw the results I was after and was happy. One year ago moved to a different city. Joined a traditional CrossFit box. Did not care for it at...

Hi, all. 57M in Chicago feeling my age. Never been big into working out, so have let my body slide for too many years. In April, I started walking 10k steps per day and have lost 15 pounds. Trying to modify my diet by eating less. And started hatha yoga which is hard but feels good afterwards...

I am 45m. In my teens and early 20's I was a gym rat that was in incredible shape. Because of life and priorities, I became overweight and out of shape, and for the most part got very little actual exercise over the last 20 years. I purchased a functional trainer 4 months ago, and have...

Hi.I have to minimize my weekly strength training. I am a huge fan of the recommended routines and i increased strength and muscles with a lot of barbell-routines like Greyskull, 531, nsuns and so on. I even bought a barbell and rack when the gyms were closed, but now it is time for me to...

I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with gastritis or other similar conditions. My info" M/66, I work full time in a kitchen but will retire next year. Never been athletic, but have been doing home dumbbell/bodyweight workouts for the past 5 years. Did my first chin up 2 years ago...

We seem to be a collection of people with vastly different levels and backgrounds. It might be interesting to share our history and experience here. I'll start. I'm M/65. I've never been athletic, only occasionally engaged in physical activities in my younger years. In my late 40s I got...

I understand that biometrics aren't 100% accurate, but they provide some basic information that I find helpful. Anyway, here are partial readings from my weigh-in this morning: BMI: 21.2 Body Fat: 24.2% Subcutaneous Fat: 22.5% Visceral Fat: 4 This is probably the best reading ever for me...

I’ve worked out in the past. Lifted weights when I was younger and expect that will be part of the routine. I’m also vegetarian (but vegan options would be best) so any advice on diet would be welcomed. Basically I’d like to pull off what Rob McElhenney did since I’m just a bit older and about...

Hi all - I've worked out with a trainer for years but about a month ago bumped up from 2x/week to 3/x week and have been pushing (safely, but definitely working harder than I have). In that month, I've gained 3-4 pounds. Nothing else has changed: I continue to run 10-12 miles a week, am...

What would they be? Hopefully this is allowed. I'm (60f) trying to motivate myself to exercise. But I get overwhelmed so easily. My goal is to strengthen and tone. I figured if I pick five moves and stick with those, it may be easier. Thoughts? Thanks much!

I have been dieting with a calorie deficit for a few months now. I jog/walk 3-4 miles every day and average over 10k steps daily for over 2 years now. I do weight training 3x weekly with egym weight machines using the muscle build format. It kicks my butt! I’m currently at BMI 24.3 so I’m not...

The key as most here knows, is consistency, mobility and strength training. One inevitable problem with training over 50 is Joint Pain: Joint pain is another reality of getting older. While your training can cause this, it’s often due to a lack of movement. Getting stronger as you age will...

Just turned 50 this year (m, 6', 240lb). Been focused on losing/keeping weight off. Started at 282 last year, fluctuate between 235-240 now. But time is short and I'm also worried about cardio things. So what I've been doing is short interval runs/sprints for at least 2 miles 6-7 days a week...
