    I’m very much a novice, still learning and can see things in these videos where I need to improve! So why make the videos? Should I leave that to experts? Am I making a fool of myself?
    I considered this but decided to make the the three video series because;
    a) they’re part of a series including Emma and she is an expert and
    b) they’re made to show older athletes they TYPE of strength training I’VE been given to do by Emma. I make the point they might not be suitable for you and, being a beginner at the age of 66, my form is never going to be perfect - ever!
    If it makes an older athlete stop, consider their strength training and perhaps seek out a coach, it has worked.

    Excellent series. Excellent focus. Excellent POV. Keep going!. I’m only a few years behind you in age, but you are ahead of me in discipline!

    I'm familiar with goblet squats being done from a wide, turned out (plié) position. Sometimes referred to as sumo squats. Thanks for making this short series. Emma would be my girl too, except for the distance!

    I've always done weights, primarily because I enjoy it but also for vanity reasons I can't deny. However, as I've got older I agree it's crucial to maintain muscle mass and strength. Vast majority is done at home as I have a decent set up in garage and is mainly free weights. Bench press, deadlight and squats form core of exercises.

    I developed a spine issue 5years ago which meant little to no exercise, i have lost so much strength, muscle mass and confidence. Surgery in Nov24 has been a complete success,i’m 7 wks post surgery and both excited but nervous to start training again.
    Will I manage, and the video by the cardiologist rock climber fits my description. I was HiiT.
    Found your videos by accident and they have provided me with the motivation and good sense to make a structured, instructor lead return to exercise and not just to head back to the gym and start racking the weight up.
    Thanks!

      Sounds like the right plan - I hope you find the right person to implement it with you.

    As you get older, it's extremely important to work exercises through the full range of motion. You show some squats and you should be going much lower, ideally ass to grass with every rep. You'll lose that range of motion and strength through that range if you don't. Emma should know that.

    • @mikegillam4555
      @mikegillam4555 18 дней назад

      I would add, “ideally” (you want to use full range. Age, fitness level, knee injuries/ conditions may not allow an ass to grass squat. While I could do full range goblet squat (pre knee replacements), the swelling and pain had me hobbling around for 2-3 days after. Currently working to get back to full range, weighted squats post replacements…when training, I frame things in a “strong enough” thinking. Strong enough for what each person needs…some people climb mountains, some just need to carry groceries.

    • @alwaysanotheradventure
      @alwaysanotheradventure  18 дней назад +2

      There’s a physical limit to different people’s range of motion at any age. My wife can’t get “ass to grass” and never could even though she’s very flexible and a yogi. I can even though I’m not as flexible. Emma went through our ranges and coached us appropriately. I didn’t want to show my deep squat because it can be hard for others to replicate.

    • @stevedouglas3975
      @stevedouglas3975 18 дней назад +1

      Squatting that low isn't necessary and will limit amount of weight and has potential for getting stuck and having to bail. Thighs parallel or a touch below is fine especially for those new to weight training.

    Apologies if you mentioned it in the video but how does your PT’s plan work over a week, or maybe over two weeks, and how does it fit in and around your cycling, running and hiking days?
    I’ve recently joined a gym which I plan to get to three times a week, or at least ten sessions a month, to make it worthwhile and justifiable cost-wise. But I’m finding I had to curtail my weekly running so as not to overdo it.

    • @alwaysanotheradventure
      @alwaysanotheradventure  18 дней назад

      Emma doesn’t programme our week for us - and I’m finding exactly the same as you. I wanted her to focus entirely on strength and as a result I’ve done few longer rides - initially. There seemed to be a steep adaption to weights (esp the gym ones) so while I’d planned to ride home I had to jump in the car - legs were shot. Six months on, I can manage more riding especially if I’ve done upper body in the gym.
      My aim after Christmas is to focus on the strength for a couple of months and limit the bike to a couple of turbo sessions plus a weekly run, then as the days grow lighter - I’ll shift the focus towards longer rides that suit my goal for the year. The 1-2 hour walks happen 3-4 times a week for the dog regardless of anything else.
      Not particularly scientific I’m afraid!

    Why do conditioning during strenght training, when you already heavy on the cardio with cycling etc. Use your time strenght training for just that and take a rest for your muscles between sets. So your muscles recoverd for the next set

      Thanks for spotting that - someone seems to have found a way to nick it! I’ve put a note to this effect in the comments and I’ll try to fix it by the end of 24th Dec. I’m travelling and can’t sort it from my phone.

    • @alwaysanotheradventure
