It's easy to forget that after age 40, regular exercise among men plummets by nearly 50% dropping from 41% meeting fitness guidelines in their 30s to just 22% by their 50s and 60s.

This is a simple but relatively tough 5 exercise, 3 round workout. 45 on 15 off. The idea is to not stop repping for the full 45. Easier said than done.

Kicking keeps you honest with your flexibility. Although not always practica for self defense.. you're keenly aware of an impending snap to your groin if you aren't flexible enough to pull of a head kick.

Functional leg training prioritizes movements that mimic real-life activities, like single-leg squats and lunges. The main benefit is improved athleticism and real-world utility, enhancing mobility, balance, coordination, and stability.

Bodybuilding leg training focuses on maximal muscle size and symmetry using both isolation and compound exercises.

At 46 I'm pleased that I can still hit the same weights as I did when I was in my 20's. I think the only reason I can still do this is that I learned from my mistakes along the way and implemented better preparation procedures to look after my body. I don't chase numbers but simply lift as much as my body will allow for the reps required.

When I started strength training, I learned the hard way that ramping up weights slowly is key to staying injury-free and getting stronger. It gives your muscles, tendons, joints, and central nervous system (CNS) time to adapt to the stress of lifting, which keeps you from burning and reduces the chance of getting hurt.

There is obviously a place for free weights but I prioritise movement over static resistance training. Results are similar in terms of muscle growth with the added benefit of a better application of strength given by more functional movements. Not to mention other side benefits.

This was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. The reverse was ridiculously hard but I'll work on that. Just a bit of fun but an easy way to test your limits.

I find this really helps loosen the shoulders up. I do a few other things but this is always included.

Summary: Unless you enjoy spending an hour plus in the gym you could shrink that down to half with some simple planning.

Lack of sleep affects hormones like ghrelin, which increases appetite, and leptin, which signals fullness.

A 2016 meta-analysis published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that sleep deprivation leads to increased ghrelin and decreased leptin levels, resulting in greater hunger and caloric intake, often from high-fat, high-sugar foods.

Additionally, a 2013 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that sleep restriction reduces resting metabolic rate and energy expenditure, contributing to weight gain.

Prioritizing sleep helps regulate these hormones and supports weight management, as confirmed by research in Sleep (2018), which linked better sleep duration to healthier body weight.
