This thread is for the over-50 crowd (like me) who do, or want to start, exercising.
What do you do?
Have you always been an exericser or is this recent?
Basically, just share what works, or maybe what hasn't worked.
I know that I have modified my exercise over the years and since hitting 50 have had to lay off of some things that I used to do routinely (exercise - watch yer dirty minds).
Used to do lots of push-ups but had to reign that in a bit (cut down total reps) and alternate with other activities.
Again had to replace my daily heavy duty sit-ups with a mad-russian/plank alternating plan that seems to work well and has cut way down on back strain.
Likewise I've had to stagger my running days and alternate with other less injury prone aerobic activities.
Plus I now have a well defined - I am not exercising day each week as well and I really don't sweat it if life activities require me to lay off two days every once in a while.
