    I started marathon running at 44 and going to the gym multiple days after work at 47. Wish I'd done it years earlier. I feel better physically and mentally. And, honestly, I play 3-4 days a week, but there's some days I don't go, and there's been some weeks I've skipped, and some days I've been at Planet Fitness for 20 minutes and other days 45. So, its not this big regiment and I'm not there for hours. But, even a mile on the treadmill is something. While climbing 100 steps in 30 minutes feels good.

    I'm 48, joined a gym, have the will, but I keep injuring myself too easily. I managed two sessions of weight training before hurting my upper arm at work somehow. Currently have sprained my foot and don't even know how, and arm injury still lingers. I am trying to build strength and muscle before it's too late but I just keep injuring myself, not even during training just in life lol

      DB's are great for some exercises, but I find that these bars allow you to put the hand and forearm in different positions for resistance that a DB can't do. I'll be adding more videos showing other exercises you can do with these.

    This guy knows what he is talking about but 70% of your MHR z(Z2) is too high for most starting runners ..Same as his zone 4 numbers... Again, his numbers are slightly too high..

    • @healthspandigest
      @healthspandigest 2 месяца назад

      Suggested percentage of MHR vary slightly in the literature, but these ranges are widely accepted. HR zones are an indicator of a persons energy systems being utilized for activity, regardless of fitness level. Regarding starting runners, it may be more comfortable to run (brisk walk) in Z1 or Z2 to build up tissue tolerance and decrease risk of injury. But to be clear, if someone is doing an activity at 50-60% of their max HR, it's not endurance (Z2) training. Zone 1 (recovery/easy): 55%-65% HR max Zone 2 (aerobic/base/endurance): 65%-75% HR max Zone 3 (tempo): 80%-85% HR max Zone 4 (lactate threshold): 85%-88% HR max Zone 5 (anaerobic): 90% HR max and above

    While I don't disagree with you, and being well into my 77th year of life and pretty well health wise, I feel that too many RUclipsrs are using "science" to make a point. Unfortunately science is way backward when it comes to understand how the human body works. Medical studies are totally flawed and depending on these is not really science. However, my take is that while aerobic training, especially HIIT is extremely valuable, neglecting weights training is wrong, and visa versa. Hope you are not offended.

    • @healthspandigest
      @healthspandigest 3 месяца назад

      Resistance training should definitely not be neglected. If someone has the time and attention, a mix of endurance, high intensity cardio, and strength training would be ideal.

    Interesting that you're recommending the 4 minute recovery like the Norwegian 4x4 study app recommends ,whereas everyone else saying 3 minutes.Not sure what difference it makes as I'm recovered by 2.I've been doing this regime for about 3 months now and although the speed/pace of my 4x4s are oscillating the average HR is coming down and my zone 2 runs are getting faster for the same heart rate.Simply one really long run a week and one fast one . Recovery /easy runs in between.Works well .Thank you for posting this .

    • @healthspandigest
      @healthspandigest 3 месяца назад

      Thanks for the comment @LeoShoSilva. There are different dosing schemes in the literature, but functionally in the 4x4 it seems like the last minute can remain intense enough (vs a 5-8 min interval) while the recovery is long enough to refuel the system for the next effort. With 3 months of consistency you could consider slotting in a 2 week block where you get in 2 interval sessions / week vs 1. With thoughtful recovery you should see a performance boost.

    I had a bone density scan several years ago, but I don't think it was a DEXA scan. I've always had negative buoyancy ... first noticed when I was going through my PADI Open Water Diver Cert training. I am now in my early 70s, still hit the gym for 2 to 2 1/2hrs 3x a week, but I have been told that my BMI is in the high 20s or low 30s. If I am to trust those numbers, I should float better than I ever have. Instead, if I jump into a pool ... in water deeper than I am tall, I will immediately sink to the bottom and standing on the bottom, I can feel my weight on my feet .. extreme negative buoyancy. I am going to ask my doctor for a DEXA scan whether my insurance pays for it or not.

    • @healthspandigest
      @healthspandigest 3 месяца назад

      That's a lot of gym time! Are you combining both cardio and strength training in those sessions? A DEXA would provide you some great overall health information. From one water sinker to another, let me know how it goes when you get it done!

    What are some trusted brands that don’t brake the bank? I’ve always trusted Thorne but with 3 people sharing, this would be an expensive addition to our grocery bill. I think this would help Scott but do you think it would also benefit Henry (15 and is a runner + lifts weights)

    • @healthspandigest
      @healthspandigest 4 месяца назад

      Good question about the brands and cost. Sometimes, but not always, cheaper means it's not the best quality. I get a deal on the brand I use, but it's still not the cheapest available. DM me and I can tell you more about that. Regarding a 15yo and creatine, I haven't suggested it for someone that young. They are usually primed for performance because of their hormones and any unrealized potential is from a poor training / recovery plan. (I can help you with that too).😀
