It's been touched on previously, but as you get older the beer and alcohol calories are trash for the most part. I've watched it literally ruin some old Buds in more ways than one.
First, they can't exercise enough to work the cals off, and many get overweight with all of the complications that ensue. Second, heavy long term older beer drinkers are prone to hip problems from it causing the small blood vessels that supply the hip to shut down. Google "avascular necrosis." Third, the sodium content eventually starts working on the BP. Then the medication cycle starts taking it toil. Fourth, I've seen more than a few functional alcoholics. They stay right side up, but the personality and drive changes. I've been there and I can tell you many don't even know what normal is any longer. The physiological changes of moderately excessive long term alcohol consumption has ruined more than one hunters ability to keep going. That's why I have cut back. Travis

Update, did the lower body/core workout Wednesday with a few additions, side planks with cable pulls and (don't know the name for this) a one-legged thing where you get a heavy dumbell, bend at the waist and touch it on the floor with the off-leg extended straight back, then straighten up, three sets of ten, works the hips and balance.
Did upper body yesterday with a couple addition of different cable presses, the shoulder is feeling better.
Did the Cardio workout today. If you can believe the calorie counters on the machines, it goes about 800.

Smokepole, I don't know how you could read my post and not see the sarcasm dripping off as I attempted to take a few humorous pot shots at fad diets and fad excercise programs as well as the trite and sometimes rediculous advertising/marketing terms used (hyping a bag of candy as "FAT FREE"). I guess my skepticism of the Paleo diet is more about the percentages of protein/fat/carbs and some of the foods that are on the don't eat list. Also, if you don't think my take on the marketing angle is right, stroll on over to Paleodiet.com and tell me their isn't some slick marketing and moneymaking going on. Call me a cynic if you like, I'll probably agree. BTW, I use the Nautilus stairstep also and cranked up to 100 spm, it definitely gets things pumping. I'm not even close to your 35/100 85/60 routine but I try. I find if you catch the steps with your toes, you get your calf muscles a workout that you just don't seem to get on the eliptical, arc, or treadmill. Steve

If you have a Iphone or Ipad download my fitness pal, and you can enter in every calorie very easily - it also tracks exercise...
take in less calories than you need and you'll loose weight.
One of the best solutions I've seen work for more folks than any other

I did the upper body workout today. Worked in some wide-grip pull-ups, felt great. Cortisone is working, at least for now.

Jealous of the rower battue. That thing is getting more and more play as folks figure out what a great workout it is. Unfortunately my gym doesn't have one.

Im 45, 5-10, 170 lbs. Been working out my entire adult life in one form or another. I eat a zone/paleo 90%+ of the week. The last year and a half or so Ive done CrossfitFootball exclusively. Ive gotten stronger and faster and its always different. I do a week behind their schedule so I can look ahead and modify anything I need to d/t left shoulder trouble. I supplement some rucking and yoga/core stuff on off days. I usually take weekends off from working out but am working on our land or in the woods on those "off" days. Ive never been out West, so I dont know how I would hold up doing what I currently do.
Yesterdays workout was:
8 rounds Squat x 3 @ 80% of your 3 rep max 45 sec max effort on airdyne rest 60-75 sec between rounds Then:
Shoulder press 5 rep max, 1 x max reps @ 80% 5 rep max. (I subbed land mine presses, as they hurt my shoulder less)
3 rounds max reps push ups at 36" elevation
Then I did some abs/core stuff and stretched.

Finally bought my own. Sits in the living room in front of the TV. Time goes faster when you are watching a game, movie, etc. Convenient in that it makes it much easier to fit it in.
Move it to another room when there is company.

Move it to another room when there is company. Hook a generator to it and make them power the TV! Win-win in my book. It'd cut down on guests and the one's that still came would create some free juice!
