The upshot of that query
resulted in the decision to
curtail any increase in the
amount of weight that I
was using.
I have not lifted anything
heavier since 2004.
Revelations
As mentioned before, if
you are returning to the
gym after five, 10 or more
years of relative inactiv
ity and have a history of
being an athlete “back in
the day,” a “gremlin” that
you have to overcome is
thinking you can replicate,
decades later, those activ
ities you did in your 20s
or 30s.
To understand that your
body has limitations is the
first step to regaining your
physicality.
Yes, you can do a great
deal, just not everything
you see in your rear view
mirror.
You have to be realistic.
Yes, there are senior ath
letes that accomplish get
feats of speed, strength,
agility, etc.
These individuals com
pete at a high level.

There are always excep
tions to the rule.
What I would advise
each one of you is to take
an honest assessment of
where you are physical
ly and what are realistic
expectations. There is one
suggestion I would make
for those of you already
deep into lifting weights.
For a one-month peri
od, take an extra day off
(or two) between workouts
and see if you feel the dif
ference.
You might be pleasantly
surprised.
Acceptance and
Appreciation
To this day, I can do
pretty much anything I
want.
Knowing what to do and
what not to do is the key.
Did the Tree Top Quest
several years ago (check
that on off the bucket list).
Still do all my own yard
work, even cleaning the
gutters.
There is an understand
ing when to pick some
thing up and when to leave
it alone.
Be smart and don’t take

unwarranted risks. At 68.
my physical bucket list is
limited.
Getting hurt is not an
option. It’s just common
sense,
I tell my clients met
aphorically I won’t take
up an activity that has an
ambulance waiting at the
bottom of the hill.
My business outlook,
on the other hand, is
open-ended.
Opportunities await
because major health
problems have been
avoided (knock on wood)
through common sense
nutrition, a quality fitness
program and a degree of
luck.
Life experiences have
truly taught me my limits.
Good luck and good
health!
