Dmaxdan Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Minimum 15,000 steps a day. 2-3 sessions a week on my exercise bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin71 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I try and train 5 days a week, ( I am 53 and in good health). I use a mixture of TRX and Bodylastics (resistance bands), and do CV work either running around a lake near me (weather permitting) or static bike. If you are older than this and have health worries I would recommend Bodylastics (very cheap on Lazada), easy to set up anywhere, it will exercise every muscle group, and you can set your own resistance (kilograms), good for flexibility and to keep muscles from atrophying, also is easy on the joints. Example training programme: Mon Back and Biceps and 15k static bike Tue Chest and Triceps and 5k run Wed Shoulders and Legs Thurs Rest day upper body 20k static bike or 5k run Fri Repeat from the top.. I do the above programme but 85% of the time it is with TRX not bodylastics. As I say this is just an example you can adjust it around to suit your health conditions/age. Always go and get checked out by your Doctor before embarking on any exercise programme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummin Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 You should have a look in to your diet if you feel tired. I heard for long time we needed more protein the older we got, and took me awhile to try, and it was a game changer. Now back on 30% protein, 25% fat and 45% carb. Rowing as warm up 4-6 days weights Push-Legs-pull Walk one hour 5 days a week Rowing 35min 2-3 days a week Swimming is my preferred activty when I have access to a pool.

Always go and get checked out by your Doctor before embarking on any exercise programme. Bands like bodylastics are great. Be careful however about the cheap copies at Lazada. They do not last long and can hurt you when breaking. The sets at Lazada often cost the same as a single good band from a reputable company. Good and expensive bands can last years. Just to mention.

Latest study shows 7500 steps a day is the most beneficial in extending life (20%) and if one walks even more then the benefit drops rapidly. Used to run at lest 5-10 miles a day until 65 then started walking as no good surface for running...walked 5-10 miles a day for 10 years and then cut back to what I do as mentioned previously. Have no aches or pains, eat healthy, no medicines - not even a headache this century. Don't drink alcohol nor do any drugs. Enjoy all the available fresh fruits, nuts and seeds available and have maintained the same weight (70 kilos) for years. Eat one Thai or farang meal at lunch per day. Have plenty of energy and TRY to sleep 7-8 hours daily. Love life and even with the local problems, still realize Thailand is much better than in the US. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your muscles will waste away. easy to get extra protein with all the drinks and added protein powders that are easy to add with the meals. Last I recall was that within 4 hours of weight lifting, need 40 extra grams of protein so that the body doesn't take it from the muscles..but I am no expert and do take extra protein when I lift weights. I do fruits AM w/soaked oatmeal, tumeric, Thai or farang lunch, nuts, seeds, probiotic yogurt and berries during the evening (fortunately Villamarket carries a variety of fresh berries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KhunLA Posted February 29 Popular Post Share Posted February 29 (edited) Mine's pretty poor at the moment. Just walking the dog a couple times a day, keeping the joints & muscles moving. That will change in the next week or so, as nursing a sore back muscle, that finally loosening up. Get back to riding my bike, pedal or stationary in the early AM, and some basic floor exercises. I've loss some weight, down to 75 kgs, almost the same as when I was 21 yrs old, but my chest and arms seemed to have migrated to my waistline. At this weight, I should have a flatter stomach and no love handles Need to get the metabolism back up and them stomach crunches going again. Temps is best excuse I can come up with, draining my motivation. Not a very good one 😂 Edited February 29 by KhunLA 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywalker2 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Wake up, half hour of power breathing, 30 minutes in the pool -- swimming, stretches, leg exercises -- typically walk between 6,000 and 10,000 steps per day, 90 minutes of aerobics in the evening. I like a drink after aerobics and that makes me feel guilty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
