A Blog on Running, Health And Fitness at Any Age**** After a brain hemorrhage in 2012 I believed I would never run again. Almost two years of recovery, one step at a time to 2014 qualifying in the 2015 National Senior Olympic Games. Everyone can be more fit and healthy; Life begins at 50.

PSSSST! For making you see my before "sick and weaker than weak" pics, I am moving forward now, Posting my secret body all over body toner found in a health magazine....after walking for 30 mins every day, and slipping in a few short jogs during the walk, I gave myself a full length mirror assessment. Ouch! As painful as TBT "Iwas so sick pics" are for me to look at. the reality of how much muscle tone I had lost during recover was shocking to me. Lack of use of the muscles = less muscle mass, less tone, less strength. I found this in a give away mag in a doctors office during follow ups and one little step at a time.....those baby steps, I picked one part of this every day, or did several during my TV time. I used no weights at first at all, only weight of my own arms or legs, and slowly built up to doing all reps one time. a few weeks later, I increased to one full set and repeated the ones I felt like doing again. Slowly, but surely I got so I could work up to all the recommended reps, one time, then a month or so later, I could repeat the entire work out. Whew! Another accomplishment.
When my friends have asked what I do to get my arms looking like that....do I have a trainer? I answer no, I can share with you, but the only catch is you must commit to doing it. Genetics and body shape vary from one person to another, but if you do these, I guarantee, your best will get even better! Enjoy! It worked for me! @www.inspirehealth.com
Now I do these 3 days per week, using only 3# wts.
