[QUOTE="Shoot Summ, post: 2862971, member: 1055"] Hit 55 this year and work out 6 days most weeks. I hit it really hard for my age, work out 3 days a week with a trainer, and the other 3 days with workout partner(s). My lifting has pulled in a bit, more reps and less weight, except on leg day, I can run it really hard on leg day... All of my workouts incorporate HIT to a certain extent, there is a lot of value to me to get my heart rate elevated. HIT for me takes a lot of different forms, Med ball slams, battle ropes, box jumps, burpees, etc. I wear a heart rate monitor, and my goal is to get as close to my max HR as I can, and then spend about 5-10% of my workout time(60 minutes) in that zone. It's taken me about 3 years to get to this point, but it's paid off, I feel great, and most people don't believe I'm 55. Did a great set Sunday with a Trainer: Dead lift Squat Burpee Start with 1 rep of each, and progress to 10 reps of each, stop only when you have to. Went great until 5 reps, then it started to get tough... Bands are great, sliders can kick your butt too. Good old push ups, even from your knees are good. Planks are great for core. [/QUOTE]
