    I am 54 in a month. Just got out of a 20 Year marriage and was at 255 this time last year. I've been working out here and there but have been looking for the next step. I found it with this one. I'm down to 200 and can actually see my muscles. Great video. Thank you.

    I’m 59. Who do you want to be when you’re 59? Life is a marathon. It’s not a single workout. It’s a long series of daily choices to workout and to eat right. It’s your 401k plan. Contribute to it a little each day. No workout makes you or breaks you. Don’t sweat the bad ones. At 59, Health and fitness are as important as your “401k” probably more so. You can’t buy fitness. No one my age likes to be fat and unhappy, bc it comes with death, disease, general malaise and lots of medical bills. All unnecessary and all a choice you make now, not later. Set a goal weight now and keep it. I weigh the same now as I did at 21 in the Army. Easy? No. Worth it? Yes. Also set a base level of strength and conditioning and maintain it. Don’t drink alcohol. What does it do for you? I can’t think of anything socially or physically it does positive for you. Google says the average person drinks 8 beers a week. Assuming those are light beers, that’s at least 800 calories a week x52 weeks equals 41k calories a year. That’s a lot of exercise to work those empty calories off. If you start drinking at 21, drinking 8 beers a week, that’s 1,558,000 empty calories by the time your 59. That’s a lot of running just to break even with the guy or girl that chose not to drink. Do push-ups, pull-ups and dips. You can do those your entire life with little fear of getting hurt. What’s your minimum to be fit? As Nike says “just do it” you will be glad you did.

      For optimizing strength Andy Galpin has a lot of information on this. Nick does a mix of heavy few reps (especially compound barbell lifts) and a ton of volume (lower weight, higher reps). Dude has been very serious about deadlifting for a long time.

    23:35 -> 180 heart rate - (your) age : This might work as a general guideline to start out with but make sure to allow for individual variety. I am in my early 30s and high 150s can be still in my aerobic zone. Easy rule: If you can still talk (somewhat ) comfortably, it's still your aerobic zone.

    • @strang2209
      @strang2209 Před 2 měsíci +2

      This is pretty normal for folks just starting, especially once you hit your 30s. It’s a massive ego hit but the way to break thru really is to go even slower (even to the point of fast walking). A couple weeks of this will start to get your aerobic system firing and you’ll be able to increase pace at the same hr.

      Would be great to see Bare reply to very common question for new runners. I’ll chime in hopefully makes sense. Running is hard on the body and I came from cycling background. Running would kick my butt and hr for a 9 min mile was 175. I had to truly slow my runs, 12 min mile nice and slow and would walk and run based on my garmin watch I programmed for zone 2 runs. When heart rate would get above 145 I would walk. However, to help build the base treadmill has helped tremendously. I would set it to 4.5 and I could do that with nice 170 cadence and heart rate 145 for 1 hour. Even though pace is slow like 12 min mile, it allowed me to run straight. Took 2 months for my muscles and tendons to get used to everything. Then I do speed work once a week which helps with overall speed.

    • @MattTerryAttorney

      Try the “Run-Walk Method” … great for beginning runners to keep your HR in range. It also dramatically reduces injury rates (extensively studied), not to mention it makes your runs much more pleasant

  • @donaldsanchez1282
    @donaldsanchez1282 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Great episode. Just tried the “180” rule and I was surprised that I was able to run further than I have before.
    I do have a question, if I am running 4 days a week, how many easy runs should I do vs normal runs? 22:20

    • @stephenhernandez2587
      @stephenhernandez2587 Před měsícem +1

      In case anyone else is curious, the typical rule of thumb is 80/20 for difficulty of runs. 80% easy and 20% hard. So for running 4 days/wk, you should have only 1 hard run - be it intervals, road race, long run at pace, etc - with a good warm up and cool down.

  • @ryandeffley7652

    As someone who did powerlifting for a lot of years, I wound up really hating my lack of general fitness. It sucks when you're strong AF but want to puke after 10 burpees. 😂
    I still love lifting and calisthenic work. But I've trained myself to love jumping rope, hill sprints, high volume max incline walking, etc, just as much.
    From a longevity standpoint, it is a lot better to embrace cardio as a lifting accessory to allow you to train harder and recover faster. In the end, the heart is the most important muscle in your body.
