Some folks belong to a gym, just to belong to a gym!

I have to have an MP3 player, just so I dont have to hear the gay-azz music they usually play.

For me exercising at the gym is about as boring as it can get. Why don't all those people something productive to expend their energy on.
Jim Being physically fit or losing weight is not productive? Yea! When I want to loose weight I stop eating, when I wan to get fit in the spring I trim bushes, clean up the yard, when I want to get fit in the fall I split wood. when I want to get fit in the winter I haul the wood in and heat the house.

too hot? Work in this crap every day.
Yesterday about fell out due to putting all my nice insulated fire gear on and helping fight a big dumpster fire - lets say once you get in the dumpster its not cool, on top of heat, and then having to drag out half burned RR ties to get under them with the water.
Yes you can get out in this stuff and work. Poor choice of words I guess, yes I could do something out in the heat but I don't want to. I spent 2 summers at Fort Benning (basic, AIT, etc) and also spent a summer working the furnace area in a steel mill (most of it working 16hr shifts), so I know a little about working in the heat... Luckily people still have enough energy to complain about every friggin thing that happens around them. I was just making an observation/conversation, no complaining in anything I wrote - this is the "campfire" after all, where folks go to BS, right? I never said I like the heat. I actually hate it. Fought a fire in it yesterday and it had me on my knees a few times sucking water bottles wondering if I'd get another energy spurt or not. But living in Houston or La Grange, you don't have a choice. I"m not going to sit inside and waste 9 months of the year some years.

I have a lot of people tell me I am doing it wrong. Then I outlift them. Most people do not have a clue about how to lift heavy. It takes a bit of work, and a lot of rest. Make a lot of friends, anyhow....500+ geared bench at 60 years old and 167 pounds. Works for me....

I do everything in the power rack, except for dips and pullups, then go run a mile at the high school track. The only time I bring my phone in is when I'm on call. If I had room to build a squat/power rack at home, I would and be done with the gym.

Keep it up! Do those 5 mile runs, lifts, squats, etc.! They'll pay off big time so you'll be able to spend an extra 14 months being spoon fed in a nursing home!!

Jim You left out mowing the lawn in summer. I do that stuff too. And I can tell you, it doesn't keep me in good enough shape to do what I want to do come hunting season. Anyway, why worry about how other people choose to spend their time if it doesn't affect you?

To me, as I get older, keeping a strong core just makes everyday tasks much easier. Some may not need it, but I feel like I do.

There was a program on aging on TV last night. As you age, if you get the minimum amount of exercise recommended, the average person loses 7% of their muscle mass per decade once they pass 30. Exercise vigorously, and that drops to 2%.
There is no downside to that.

There is no downside to that. Also, lifting weights, even in advanced age builds bone density. The tendons pulling on the bone stimulates bone growth.
