Siegels's Journal, 27 Jul 24

we ate a nice meal with in-laws last night, which meant compromises in venue and timing. But, at least I stopped before finishing my meal and brought some home, which is a tactic I don't use nearly enough.

As I've noted lately, I've been working out much harder than I was previously. It's been a long time since I felt the constant soreness and fatigue that accompanies this kind of exercising. Hopefully this renewed intensity will translate into muscle gains, even at almost 60 years old.

I've read so many articles about how we stay fit as we age, from avoiding food with estrogen to boosting testosterone with activity and other foods. doesn't seem to be working. but what's the alternative?

I don't often do that either with saving food. There is usually no reward for being in the clean plate club. You are doing your body a favor with the exercise. I do better than most people my age due to being active. I see too many of my friends slowing down more all the time. Like my doctor says - "go to bed" (at our age) and you never get out. You have to stay active! Even if it is functional fitness. When everyone else is doing your activities of daily living for you, you end up on the downward spiral.

You can keep getting stronger through your sixties. I was 65 when I learned to chin-up successfully, and worked up to sets and reps. But that was the goal. I think a specific goal really helps a lot.
