Men over 35...Why dont you workout!?

[Lakerman0834]

this excuse needs to stop....

30 min daily workout can be done with all of the above

there is no excuse other than lack of self control

not an excuse just a legit question. How many are professionals with a family

Health is wealth. Don’t be 50 years old and broken down like these cacs here in Australia. The black man and women are meant to be strong and virile into old age.

I’m in my mid 30s and have been going since 15. You wobble sometimes but you can always return to what is familiar in terms of health and fitness. Don’t need to just pump weights but get your heart and body strong. I get tired of reading about our people dying at 55 because of lifestyle habits

what part of australia are you in?

I'm curious about what snacks are popping at the moment

Unfortunately I’m early 40s and only now started going to the gym more in the last couple of months than I have ever beforehand

I like doing so actually. I don’t like thinking about where I’d already be had I started much earlier on

Thanks for replying bro. Yeah I’m grateful that lately i have been going despite being off my square. But for me it’s akin to not going at all because when i go, I only do 1-2 excercises and bounce within 15 mins. That’s what got me feeling like yo wtf is up with me

Now a follow up, you plan your workouts in advance? How you go about that? When I was younger I would pre write what I was going to do down to sets and reps . Nowadays I kinda go with the flow but with each day assigned a certain body part. In other words I know tomorrow is leg day but I decide what excercises I’ll do when I get there

But idk reading your reply made me think that maybe that’s it. Maybe I need to plan my workouts with detail in advance. It isn’t a remedy but at least it will help me begin getting back to the gym. I wanna overcome going and leaving within 10 mins shyt

I tried to dm you but it says I cant




So I don't write down my workouts but I've been doing them so long, I know what to do. I have a mental plan of what I'm going to do everyday. So even if I have a small goal ...whatever my goal is as long as I hit my goal I feel good. Now if my goal is too easy, I might do a little more while I'm there or just wait until tomorrow and set a new goal. If my goal is too big, I don't consider it a failure, I do the best I can and tailor my next workout.

It'll help you to write things down. Try a bunch of different workouts for each body part, then choose your favorite ones, master those movements. Once they've been mastered go back and try some of those other workouts and master them too.

For instance I was always good at pushups. But diamond pushups gave me hell, I could do various forms of pushups but diamonds always gave me hell. Anyway, I went back and started doing diamonds and now I'm good at those too.

Every little bit counts. I like to do something everyday like recess, but I make it count. I enjoy running, pushups, dips, bodysquats, road biking, mountain biking and other shyt so it's easy to find something I like to do everyday.

Turnng 35 in may. I'm not big on lifting. Never really was. I wish I did more lifting younger. Probably would have been better in basketball. But I've always been a cardio guy. I still am big on cardio.

I go to gym and run Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Depending on the weather I'll go outside and run. Saturdays I play basketball. I'm more focused on staying lean

Cardio is great but you need to hit weights few times a week. Muscle mass plays very important role in your health. There are bunch of studies out there that prove people with muscle mass live longer.

Muscle mass correlates with a decrease in all-cause mortality. Simply put, the more muscle mass you have, the lesser the risk of dying from a chronic disease than some of your peers.

Also, In one of the study involving people over 70 who have exercised regularly for years, scientists discovered that the participants' hearts, lungs, and muscles were in equivalent shape to those of people in their 40s

I try to lift weights and do cardio a few times a week at least. Got some bowflex dumbbells and a bench during lockdown so been rocking with those. Plus an old treadmill that I recently threw some wooden blocks under it to get an incline on it. Gotta make sure I try and stay active to help my a1c and cholesterol.


Now with that being said, what's good with these breakfast sandwiches and snacks I saw mentioned.

Melbourne. These cacs (and Asians) do nothing but get drunk and snort cocaine since they’re teenagers. Absolutely washed by 30

If you like the arts, theatre, etc come to Melbourne. Sydney has nicer beaches

Dope thread, very motivational to take my health seriously.

I just started getting back into working out and I am 28. What I never gave up is stretching though, I always make sure I do some stretches in the morning before work. I honestly think it's one of the most important things ti do as you get older.

You should be in the gym by 25. No excuses. Honestly by 21 if you are smart and think long term.

Resistance training and some form of cardio. If God didn't make it, don't eat it. Keep your alcohol and weed usage to a minimum. Get 7-8 hours of quality sleep. You will be 35 feeling like you're 25 if you stick with these basics.

35 is late. Your T levels are most likely in the dumps already, that's why all these dudes whine about being depressed and feeling tired by noon. A lot of modern day dudes drink too much, eat too shytty and don't sleep well.

I didn’t really start until then. Everything worked just fine.

I’ll bite. I do boxing training 3 days a week. I actually run circles around the younger guys with stamina because they go hard as shyt for the first minute and then can’t handle the next 2. My ex was vegetarian and I’m used to eating that way now.
