Just Do This Stuff... (2024/149}

Just do this stuff (as illustrated here) and you'll get a stronger heart, feel fitter, and develop stronger and larger muscles. This post mixes intense cardio with weights and resistance machines. Develop a balanced workout within your present capabilities, and do it three times a week... if it starts to get boring, change it: uplift the weight a little. Aching after is good: pain is not. Be sensible.






And now some action:

46

No harm in starting young...

...so long as they are properly supervised.

Don't be afraid to get a bit sweaty...

...especially if you managed to get your heart rate up to nearly 220pm-your age, which is the medical recommendation.

Finally, remember that ALL sport is good for you (excluding snooker and darts, obviously, before anyone asks. They are NOT sport. We mean physical exercise!):

Is It 'Goodbye Younglifter.com'? (2023/352)

One month ago, the superb 'body image' site younglifter.com suddenly disappeared. It was a great site, known to afficionados as the 'green pages' and run by a guy in Chicago, Corin M. Hugely popular, and suddenly gone. Does anyone know why, or whether it has re-appeared under a new name? Meanwhile, here is our tribute to those 'young lifters' (and some not so young now!) - keep up the good work in your gyms, guys!   Yep - use whatever you have to hand!! Your own bodyweight will do fine... And some results: flex...come rain or shine... or hail!!... ...  So: is it "RIP, younglifter.com?" Not here, at any rate: we'll keep the fitness flag flying.

 More on our favourite sport. Before the real stuff, though, a short sequence on how playtime can go wrong on the high bar! I don't have the first section, but you'll get the idea... The lesson is 'don't wear loose shorts on a bar' - I've had that problem if you don't keep clear of the bat when you should!   And, of course, things don't always go as well as they should: Random pics now - some action, some resting... A bit of specific training: Finally, a bit more gymnast fun stuff to finish - and this one doesn't go wrong!
