This ol body changes
By Mike Dayton
There is no question that age slows one down. Aches and pains add up, and recuperation isn’t what it used to be. I surprise myself how strong I remain, particularly in my upper body and back. I guess it’s the pay off for so many years of good training, clean eating and stretching. While the feats produced their share of injuries, none were life threatening and my recuperation great back then.
I’m curious, however, what types training us Golden Years Lifters are avoiding? I don’t run exept inside the gym, I keep impact low on my knees and ankles. I still stretch daily and perform the tensing exercises. Over head lifts are slightly limited, but I work traps, tris and bis about the same. I’ve had to trim back on my bench, and I’ve traded in the freeweight squat for the leg press machines.
How are you!

Try having lot of anti-oxidants. It definitely will improve in anti-aging. Fruits and Green tea are the best resources

You can slow it down, but neer stop. And when you start back up, take it slower. Youre recuperation will not be as good–you need more rest between activities. You muscles aren’t as limber, stretch them smooth and nice. I recently started back running and man did I hurt those first few days. About half along where I thought I’d be, so lession 3: come back slow and don’t set goals too high.
Main thing: be consistant. Weekend jocks take the knocks.
I’m set on a marathon in March . . . run or walk . . . I’m gonna do it at age 56.

Hey Mike,
I’ve often wondered the same thing when I notice the older workout crowd avoiding the crucial warm ups that will prevent them from much pain and angst in the near future. Being that I’m slightly younger then them and that I’m aware of the consequences of not properly warming up. I feel like I should warn them
