Four hours of snow shoveling is quite the workout.

Went back to anytime fitness in December. At 53 (in a few days) I need to improve my overall health. I do some cardio and light weights, 15x3….

This year I'm focusing on kettlebell exercises, specifically the swing and get up. Hoping to be both a Simple and Sinister year...

This year I'm focusing on kettlebell exercises, specifically the swing and get up. Hoping to be both a Simple and Sinister year... Middle of 2020 I began a regimen of alternating CrossFit type body weight workouts with kettlebell workouts with runs mixed in. Lots of push-ups, pull-ups, swings, etc. Moving my body weight is the emphasis for me. I feel better than I have in a long time. Ran 365 miles last year (7.02 / week). 500 miles is my run goal this year with another half marathon (hopefully sub 2:00:00).

I do a combination of kettlebell and barbell work. Kettlebells offer a great mix of strength, power and conditioning. Over the year I cycle between strength oriented programs and muscle growth programs, both combine kettlebell and barbell. I’m 53 and tend to be small and lean so I have to concentrate on muscle for longevity. Easy to lose lean muscle mass as we age and accelerate frailty. Then closer to sheep season I tune up my conditioning. Yesterday morning I did a workout, then in the afternoon I was able to go snowshoeing for a couple hours.

My current living situation and schedule preclude me from joining a gym, but I love that I can get some work in with a KB quickly and in a small space. I really need get better about running, just a very hard thing for me to enjoy enough to do it often/long enough to get good at it. I may shoot for the goal you attained last year!

Went back to anytime fitness in December. At 53 (in a few days) I need to improve my overall health. I do some cardio and light weights, 15x3…. I'm the same age. It doesn't get easier. I started tracking workouts on Runkeeper (app) and haven't missed a day yet this year. I just use a spin bike, a Bowflex, a balance board and a few dumbbells at home in the winter. Running is a warm weather only activity for me.

I fully retired at the end of December so work no longer gets in the way of working out. With that I've set a goal of 2022 trail miles for the year. I generally average 30-35 miles/week. If I string in some 50-100 mile backpacking trips, should be doable. Still strength training twice a week (squats/bench one day, deadlifts and overhead press on the other), still following Wendler's program- albeit slightly modified.
Last year I kept track of ascent and hit roughly 450,000'- this year should be in that ballpark as well, but not keeping track as it was a pain.
Have been getting in some snowshoeing and backcountry skiing in already this year and see a lot more (God willing) this winter/spring.
