Introduction

Hello Everyone!!



Firstly let's get the excuse of being "too old" to get in shape out of the way.
For me my birthday is just a date on a calender as i have competed for over a decade against competitors half my age. How you might ask? By having the knowledge of how the body functions and just as importantly how to get the most out of your workouts, i will pass on my wisdom & tips to you my fellow bloggers and followers.

The "Key"(s) to exercise is having a variety. First not allowing the task to become boring and/or cumbersome as you must keep the brain guessing thus eliminating the plateau effect. Also when changes are not immediate one tends to become frustrated and feels like quitting, so we are going to change this with the blog to keep the routines far from boring and productive.

Secondly i will pass on knowledge regarding nutrition and water which is critical. You can work out all you want but remember what you do during exercise is tearing down the muscle and if you don't repair and hydrate you are just wasting your time, this aspect is probably 60%+ of the equation to a healthy body

Within the continuation of this blog, I will show you how to improve your health, change your shape and improve your game.... from the serious athlete to the weekend warrior. There will be video's of weight bearing exercises per body part and routines that everyone can fit in to their schedule and lifestyle no matter how hectic it is.

And remember, there is no point in having an empire if you are not around to enjoy it. Your body is a temple!


Yours in Fitness,

Why you gals should train like guys!!

First to change you shape (an apple, pear, hourglass whatever) and if all you do is cardio ladies you become a smaller version of these, weight bearing activities will change your body structure. Secondly bone density, at age 30 you start to lose bone mass faster than you can replace it and since it is a living tissue, strength exercises will help generate new bone and add density to the existing. Next up my female followers, notice as we get older our metabolism slows down...why is this K-Man?  Well  its because our muscle mass leaves us as we get on in life, so if you don't want those bingo arms (lol) you need to lift some weights to maintain your upper body muscle and for every pound you keep, a bonus....an extra 50 calories per day
that is needed for repair/maintenance so your stoking the inner fires and burning up calories.  Finally to put to rest the myth that you will turn into a guy by visiting the weight room, its impossible as you don't have as much testosterone as a man. Those so called fitness women who look like guys? they are taking a male growth hormone.... deeper voice, facial hair, man's jaw line, added muscle etc, not so attractive.  So there it is girls, the secret to staying fit and younger is a four letter word....IRON !!  See you at the dumbbell rack.
