fitness after 50

So I’m doing a circuit of 11 machines. Leg extension, press, curl, lat pull down, bicep curl, triceps, shoulder press, chest press, seated row, abdominal crunch and back extension. I have a strength test every 2 weeks and the weight is adjusted based on that. I’ve consistently moved up in...

I was so new at working out but I was really loving it. It made me feel strong and confident. It made me feel a part of something bigger than me. And it helped ease my pain. I barely felt any pain during my workouts. I have major nerve damage that goes from my left hip all the way to my toes...

Saw some old friends. The conversation kept moving to sickness, injuries, of people we don’t know. We are in shape and healthy. Some of them have had health scares in the recent past. We always want our friends to be able to share about their own personal issues, but we really don’t want to...

I live in a tiny mountain town 50 miles from the nearest gym. I’m 58 years old and have recently listened to 30 lbs just getting my hormones and thyroid regulated, however, I have more to lose and I am getting flabby. Are there any completely free apps (no in app purchases or subscriptions)...

I happened to have access to two different body composition scans in the past month, and I have a smart scale at home. The three different readings for body fat percentage were 28.4%, 33.2%, 37.1% I know impedance scans are notoriously inaccurate, but an 8.7% range seems crazy. FYI I’m 5’6 147...

It’s leg day…my least favorite, and I’m just lagging! I’m all dressed to work out, but just sitting here drinking coffee. Help me!

I love to run but it does become a challenge as I age ( I am 59 ) I love to share tips that I use to stay running. I would love to hear your tips on how you stay fit too! Thanks! 2021 Michigan Ironman 70.3 Finisher

Bear with me. Tomorrow, my soon-to-be ex-wife of 19 years will move out of the house. I've know this day has been coming for 9 months, but at 52, I find myself blindsided, scared, and lost. At least that's how I feel on bad days. On good days, I see this as an opportunity to begin again. I may...

Just turned 50 this year and made it a goal to transform myself the next 12 months. I am 6’ and about 260. I just want to be strong and trim. I don’t care about my weight as much as I do my waist. I am starting with an hour walking on the treadmill or outside. I am hoping I can get some...

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...
