I'm chuckling at my laptop! And thinking about how much I have changed over the decades. Today I took, as I called it, 'Sweat-alates'!! Combination TRX-Tower class at the Pilates studio where I teach. So I taught an hour private (where I just walk, watch, correct my client) session then took the class. I figure I'll go for a brisk walk and be done for today, unless I add wandering the house with ankle weights. I do that to get used to the extra weight that will come with boots and skis. I am considering jumping into one of our barre classes from time to time. And I do some walk/jogging as I have a road race in October. I try and at least walk three to five miles a day, every day. Or kayak. Or sail.
NOW ... when I was younger and also more of a weight lifter, I did crazy pre-season workouts and taught winter sports pre-season conditioning classes. I would jump up onto aerobic step benches and land on dyna discs to challenge my balance. And do the plyometric work we did with volleyball players, jumping over boxes from side to side. And squats, lunges, monster band steps etc etc. At the tail end of that time I worked with kettlebells. Amazing workout, if done correctly and safely. I did all of this at least five, usually six days a week.
For me the difference is between my 40s and my 60s and the stray health issue, and arthritis here and there that has cropped up over time. I'd say there is no exact answer. It's all what is right for YOU and your body. Fit without creating pain or injury to prevent you from getting out this winter to do what you love.
And yes, all that typing allowed me to procrastinate from getting out for that walk!!!!
Okay your entire workout program whether from 40s-60s makes me feel extremely sedentary and lazy and I’m 36! Lol Perhaps I need to up my motivation level a bit..or a lot!!!!
