"It's going to happen - because I'm going to MAKE it happen". That's the reason for going to the gym, right? How to get fitter, look great, and feel healthier - all in one! Let's go. A salute to the next generation to finish. Many gyms have an age limit around 11years, even with parents supervising... there used to be a theory that early gym work stunted proper development. With correct supervision, this is nonsense and many kids find ways to train for their chosen sports in other ways, and feel extremely proud of what they do... ... and it is usually super-rpoud sporty dad (or mom) behind the camera... ...    

Business as usual...  Our sign-off salute to the rising generation: Yes, start young! It's great to see more and more kids ditching their screens in favour of sport, and showing that they really WANT IT, and know what they need to do to GET IT  (sorry for the Trumpian capitals there) ! Getting sweaty, and then keeping wanting more! Equally, in the gym we use there are a couple of guys approaching their ninth decade who know that regular lifting keeps their bones strong and keeps muscle from dwindling away. It's all good at any age, and becoming fit (and looking good, obviously) is what this blog has been about for the first 2000 posts. With your continued support (we measure clicks!!), let's keep it going. You are most welcome to comment - on this, or any other post. And don't forget those 1999 posts in the archive!
