I’m 56, recovering from mold toxicity. I used to lift weights (8 years ago) and am so excited that my body is finally ready to get back into this. Your videos are always informative and inspiring. ❤️❤️
I just started at 47 weight lifting
Same here and I love it!!
Same 😊
Me tooooo! 😁
I did too. I'm 52 now and have a lot of muscle and my body is so much stronger and defined. Keep it up!
Brilliant.Any age is a gteat time to start.🥊
"Age more actively." Love it. Now in my 50s, there's more to consider. I definitely have to change up how I'm doing my weight training. I want to learn more! Thanks for the insight!
Hello Brenda🎅
I am 46 and just started seriously lifting. I have always been afraid of lifting heavy. This information was very helpful
Me too. I just turned 50 and noticed my muscles are all shrinking and getting weak. So started lifting to maintain my muscle and to lose weight too. I can already feel a big difference. I build up slowly.
...dont forget that anyone starting out needs to condition the muscles first for 6-8 weeks to prevent injury from lifting heavier than they can handle. Im all for weight training, i do it every day, but newbies need to be careful.
Bunnykisses// I know this was 3 years ago, but I was told NOT to strength train everyday because you need time for the muscles to repair, so if I'm missing something please let me know. I was strength training aggressively everyday and I'm 57, but the trainers told me I had to have rest days in order to build muscle.
Donna Bowman It depends what part your training. If youve done a heavy session with legs, work the upper body the next day. Yes muscles need to repair. But that said, someone may think they needed time to give the muscles a break, but they are not training heavy. I recently started training a woman in her late fifties...she had no idea how to push herself, so what im trying to say is in her case she could work legs alot because she really wasnt doing any muscle damage(on her own workouts)...but conditioning. They are so many ways to do resistance training to overload the muscles. Far beyond what i can write here. A balanced program would include resistance training, flexibility and mobility training, cardio conditioning. ...and balance work!...and my workouts sometimes contain all those in one session. I should also note that anyone who trains alot, should schedule in an “active” rest where you might take like 5 days off, to heal everything...but do light workouts like walking, hiking, for example. For those of us that are older, you need to listen to your body’s clues. Are my legs killing me? Take a break, work upper body? I workout with my clients one on one, and i may have 12 days in a row with no break...but i know my shoulder is a little achey, so i will easy up on the weight, but still do the workout. That kind of thing. Or you may want to just workout core one day...we nevver get enough of that. Like i say too much to write. BUT, we NEED to do resistance training for bone building...bottom line!
@@Bunnykisses1000 // Thank you. I'm so happy you replied. So basically you're saying if I'm not sore than its okay to work your muscles...did I get that right?
Donna Bowman Thats a loaded question and not easy to answer. Not every workout has to be intense, and result in soreness. The body likes this type of stress, but not everyday. You should feel like you’ve “done something” , but not to the point of so sore that you cant imagine working out for a few days. I love an intense one, but i then will go easy the next day, maybe do a 15-20 minutes jumprope session, But everybody is different. My intensity of 10 is different than your intensity of 10. This again is where you really have to listen to your body. And if you workout alot as you say, you will KNOW when you need a break. I love to workout, but then some days I feel like, ya know, i think im going to rest a couple days. I feel lazy when i do, but come back stronger and refreshed. I recently got into steel club, steel mace and indian club training, and those days where I feel i need a break, i swing my super light Indian clubs to work my shoulders and work on technique, get lost in some music and have fun. Then its like a break, but im benefiting my shoulders. Kinda like a rehab thing. So either you are doing the same routine over and over that your muscles are basically bored and not getting stronger, or you are nOt lifting heavy enough those days where you need to. The muscles need variety in order to grow. Change the weight, switch up your routine, find something new to try..like kettlebell. But find someone knowledgeable to teach you or its easy to get hurt. You cant rely on youtube unless you can tell that they know what they are doing. Search Mark Wildman, he has amazing tutorials. Thats an example of course. Or if you can, with covid and all, find a class that does something youve never done. Its amazing how sore you can be from even a light workout in unfamiliar territory. Hope that helps.
@@Bunnykisses1000 // you're amazing and so appreciated. I understand EXACTLY what you're saying. I'll look up Mark Wildman now. Thanks a bunch.❤
Watching this at 40. Great video! Thank you!
I absolutely love all the information that you give us. There’s a lot of exercise videos out there and I love your exercise videos as well but I love that you give us so much information. Thank you
I started using NerdFitness academy's approach to getting stronger when I needed to go on a high adventure camping trip with my Boy Scouts to Northern Tier in the boundary waters area of MN in the dead of winter. I realized I was going to die if I didn't get in shape. (Funny, but possibly true?)
I found numerous modifications for all of the exercises. I was unable to do a bodyweight squat, a plank, a push-up, a lunge because of osteoarthritis in my knees and poor strength. I'm happy to say that after six months of regular exercise 2 to 3 to 4 times a week including adding some yoga ad lib., and not worrying about weight loss but focusing on strengths, I am able to do three sets of 15 bodyweight squats, three sets of 20 lunges, incline push-ups. My goal is to be able to do a push up.
The key is discipline. I started out motivated (I did not want to be unable to get up after falling while snow shoeing in the frozen tundra) but now I am still at it.

Michele Carlon ...thank you that really encouraged me.
I have the same problem. I can't do squats without my knees swelling up terribly due to osteoarthritis. How did you become able to do squats? I really want to be able to do them! Right now I'm focusing on doing sitting and laying down exercises that strengthen the muscles around the knee. Is that what I should be doing? How about half squats? I've thought that might help?
Thanks for your explanation. I'm just getting back into strength training, and this info will definitely help. Also, I just subscribed!
This was so helpful! I’m 48 and just starting out. I had no idea where to start
So clear and informative. Thank you!
Thank you! Very helpful!
Love your message. Thank you 🙏
Absolutely subscribed.
I'm taking my 50 year old mom to the gym again in a long time today.
Thanks so much! Very helpful. Tried increasing weights with lifting and squatting. Knees hurt. Wondering if I need to just stick w it and the muscles around my knee will improve OR do I back off?
And great info! Thank you!
What is the best advice you would give for lower back pain (chronic) and balance?
Do you have any video or info on how to rebuild muscles from sarcopenia. I have fibromyalgia at well so my joints and body hurt easily.
such a great informative video and well explained. finally someone who lays it out simply. Now how do i watch your actual exercise videos with the HPF?
Agree!!
Hello Catherine 🎅
Thanks dear ...i am in 50s ,now I will start lifting ...Good wishes
Thank you for the info my bones are really bad after chemo and steroids this helps me so much to build my bones back thank u
Needed to hear this. Thank you very much for sharing 👍🏻
hahahaha...small pink dumbbells, I'm laughing. Seriously, I love your videos. I am getting back into the weights which I love doing anyway, after a back injury (that was really hip alignment issue that I can fix myself). I have serious knee issues (subliming patella's) both knees and cannot afford to not be able to walk. Most of my weight lifting began years ago because of my then great doctor, Dr Kerlan (Kerlan Jobe Medical Clinic in Los Angeles. Thank you again, I have subscribed and will enjoy these videos I am certain.
Good information! Thanks

Hello Carolina 🎅
How much weight is good for heavy and power for a 5'1" 128 lb over 50 women?
Thank you
Hello friend 🎅
I appreciate the information you are so kindly sharing with us and I specially like the calm and clear way you communicate with us. I have visited other channels and the presenters spoke so fast that I could not assimilate anything that they were trying to say, so I lost interest. By the way, you are so good looking...❤️💋🙏
Can you show some examples of exercise with power?
Thank you.
This was fantastic
Thank you for sharing. ! I appreciate your kindness to share: )
I'm not 50 yet but I feel like it. Good info. I worked out years ago but my body has changed a lot.
What does 50 feel like? smh...
@@carastone3473 I'm curious too 😁
Hello friend 🎅
I am lean but , know that I can't do what I used to do . Where should I start to build my heart and how much.
I'm 54 yrs. old and have been lifting for two years now. Lately, I've been suffering bouts of tendinitis in my shoulder, elbows AND knees. I don't know what to do to keep that at bay. I don't want to stop lifting and lose progress, but this HURTS. Any advice?
I worked out for years thinking I was a hard gainer, but the reallity is I just had a bad. I then tried the Agoge Diet, and started seeing much faster and better results.
I started working out in late 20's still working out at my present age of 53
Hello friend 🎅
Do you mean lifting to fatigue in just one set? I'm just starting weight training and and trying to get as much information as possible. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
+Sarah Gregory Hi Sarah, I mean to fatigue in each set. This, by the way is a great question! So often we make the mistake of thinking if we're doing two or three sets that we should be conservative and save our energy because we're doing more. It's smarter to fatigue with your first set. Then on the second set- you may be able to do the same weight or need to do lower weight- but again you do want to fatigue. Likewise for every set you do. You'll get better results. I hope that helps and feel free to ask if you've got more questions.
I would imagine that lowering the reps and increasing the workset weight would be best unless your body can't tolerate that (meaning very weak).
Any beginner lifting program has less reps and instead of increasing them, you increase the weight to increase adaptation and reap the benefits of lifting. Which I actually think are the benefits of exercise, are ALL pretty much concentrated in lifting, anything else is less than optimal, unless you're training for a marathon. Then you have to do marathon like conditioning.
Otherwise for everyone else, muscle mass is the #1 thing that you want to gain, young/old/man/woman, whether you want "fit and toned" or you're going to start your journey to becoming the hulk (LOL sarcastic but not at the end)
What do you mean by Power exercise ? Is that the same as HIIT ?
Well explained and my PT agrees. I'm not 50 yet, but am approaching 50. I have noticed my recovery is not as good as it used to be. Particularly with my joints (stiffness, sore knees). Is this normal? I suppose the obvious answer is to get an MRI on my joints and check how much cushioning is left? And if it comes out as not much cushioning, does this have an impact on weight training (or do I have to surrender to swimming in a pool)?
Hello friend 🎅
Consistency is definitely the key... I work out 2-3 months a year regularly and then always stop for some reason ?
So "Heavy" is misleading because some people think heavy is doing 3 reps with a weighht. Also weights used in fitness classes during barre etc are doing than the weights for strength training. Correcvt?
Thanks!
Can you lift weights if you have cervical spondolosis. Ty
Studies show that calcium replete postmenopausal women are able to increase bone mineral density, especially at the intertrochanter hip site with resistance training. The good news is that it doesn't have to be a total downward spiral after 50. You just need to work at it.
Exactly! Thanks for reinforcing the message Pearl C. We have a lot more ability to positively affect bones before the age of 30 but we can slow losses and increase in small amounts with the right protocol in the right dose. Thanks for being here. It actually will never again be a downward spiral…we're changing the way we age right now for all future generations. We will be what we choose to be! Happy healthy Thanksgiving!
What does replete mean? How about interochanter hip site? I am new to this.
Great video, i'm going to send it to my Mum
Thanks for the comment!

I've been lifting heavy for a year now. Recently, I've been battling with bouts of tennis elbow. Should I be backing off?
I've got tennis elbow myself and it's possible you've been overdoing it. You need to give the arm a rest.
Holy Pretty Form!!
Thank you for the informative video. I was wondering what exactly the power part entails? Is it lifting a heavy weight quickly, then setting it down slowly? If you get the time to answer this, I thank you in advance.
+anne853 That's right anne853. Traditional weight training has either a lift 1-2 counts, return in 3-4 counts, or a slow-slow...lift in 4 counts and release in 4 counts. Power adds the speed component on a quick 1 second lift, slight pause so you're not using momentum and then release in a slow 4 ct.
@Flipping50 -Awesome, thank you so much. I'm definitely going to incorporate this into my workouts. And my mom's. I want to keep her around as long as possible.
Responding on Mother's Day.. awesome gift to mom!
I love your videos. I learn a lot. I have a question. I am 61 and just within this past year I started getting creapy/crappy skin around my knees some. Will building thigh muscles help this?
Hello friend 🎅
Yes, it worked for me.
My sister said I look to bulked up. I don't take supplements so I don't know how to do heavy weights with our bulking.
Superb💥💥💥💥
Thanks for the video! I'm 52, in pretty bad shape, but determined to improve. I have a history of starting a workout routine with great enthusiasm, overdoing it, getting way sore, and then quitting. Also, for the last 6-8 months, I've had a herniated disk in my lumbar spine which has made me afraid to move much because the least little thing can bring up a bad flare-up. Any suggestions? Of course I want to retain bone density as much as possible, but for now I'm just interested in finding something I can stick with!
+Katy McDermott Hi Katy. Start with some very consistent core stabilization exercises. You can find some in the Abs After 50 playlist (pick and choose the stabilizers. Or check out Prevent Back Pain with Five Steps (in Udemy). Then Water walking...forward backward, side ways and using machines first to do weight training are some of the best starts for building a stronger back surrounding your disc. Start with lighter weights and focus on excellent form while bracing your core. You'll get there, sometimes an injury can be a blessing ...it makes you change your habits and build a strong foundation. I've had a terrible back injury myself- developed the back pain program because of it. Good luck!
Hello Katy🎅
One thing I having hard time with difference between right and left biceps. Use same weights on both arms but left keeps getting inches faster than right bicep. Have a few ideas but need to have your advice from someone who can get me on right rack. Also how many reps and what is the proper weight using between 5 & 15 pound Dumb bells. Think I should go for more reps other than weight. Any advice will help.
Proper weight is about your goals and your body type. For weight loss ..and bone density..heavy (10 or fewer reps is best) for beginning or for performance that's more sport specific it's often lighter weight and more reps as long as you fatigue. Up to 25 recent research has suggested- provide you fatigue at the end of a set - will still reap benefits. The weight then is individual and specific to you. While one person may need 25 to fatigue at 10 another may reach fatigue at 5. The goal dictates the reps> the reps dictates the weight. That said- biceps work does not have a significant effect on weight loss or management. It's a small muscle group.
Sound easy enough. Do you prefer any particular weight. For either side?. I have two of 5's,10's,15's & 20's. . I don't work out every day but some times twice a week.

Hi,
I just turned 51 this year and going on my 5th year of status post liver transplant. I get angry with myself often because I'll start exercising and stop due to work or just too sore. I would love to age gracefully:-). Any tips for a beginner?
+stacia brown First! Congrats on your successful transplant and glad you're seeking exercise. Start slower! So you have "data" now.. you know obstacles are getting too sore. Find an activity that isn't quite as abrupt on your body as what you've tried in the past. Less weight, shorter duration, lower intensity and use the first 6-8 weeks at least to let your body get into the habit before you dial up intensity! Then it sounds like planning ahead. No one has an hour all the time. So for those busy days shoot for consistency- maybe that's 10 minutes of yoga or stretching. 10 minutes of muscle conditioning or 20 minutes on the treadmill. Check. You still get that feeling of staying on track and when you have bigger windows of time you can get back to the routine that takes a bit more time.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your advice....... I'm truly going to try and stay on track.😀
Progress not perfection..!! Be good to yourself. It's all data..even if it doesn't go perfectly it is information you can use to reroute!
Very informative video, I agree with you on all these! Iam 54 and I try my best to stay active ! And it shows on Dr physicals definitely we need to start moving more as we get older! Thank you!

Hello friend 🎅
Do you have a video of exercises that we can do four or five times per week?
Squats, stationary lunges, push-ups (put hands on a table for a modification), dumbbell bent over rows, holding a plank either on elbows or hands for 1 min.
Hello Sharon 🎅
new info disputes the first one, heavy.. all the advice/info i've been getting says you're better off to do long sets of not-heavy weights. This video is showing its age, newer studies and practices have superseded this information. Knowledge & understanding of health and nutrition is always developing, and what was 'true' five years ago may no longer be so.
This is nothing new ! 😊
THIS, is actually what we were taught as women, for the past 50 YEARS, to do...
( ESPECIALLY, IN "WOMENS, REDUCING SPA GYMS" ) ...Lol...
ALWAYS... Heavy reps, with very, light weights.
This sculpts the female body, without bulking it up.
ONLY RECENTLY, did they say to do this new, faster, type of weight training, to help out with bone density, to prevent Osteoporosis... She is CORRECT, in order to help out with BONE DENSITY.
There is a difference. 2, different, separate things.
This information is still relevant, especially if you are older, you don't want to be doing too many reps with light weight. To build muscle you need to go heavy.
Hey flipping50! What if just your own body weight does wear you out before 10 reps. Like squats....at 5'11" 180 lbs 50yo , I can barely do 5 before my knees say, "No way". Should I still try it with weights? I don't have bad knees, just lazy ones.
Hello Maria 🎅
I want to build a lot of muscle and gain, not necessarily lose weight. do you have a video?
+mspixiedust100 I don't have one here on RUclips. The amount of weight, reps, and rest plus the pre and post protein, sleep and additional nutrition are a little specific. You could easily use a set of exercises and apply the correct weight and rest intervals then be sure you're doing the rest of the components.
AllAgesFitness Thank you I appreciate it
Good
You look amazing chica..
Slow reps (fife seconds up, five seconds down) will help to save your joints in the beginnig.
How do we get some of our drive back during menopause..I used to lift weights and always felt good but since menopause...I have no drive and very little stamina..seem to give out after 10-15 min of yard work but this may be due to high blood pressure.. Just want to feel better so I can do better
Often has to do with mitochondrial function. You can get it back but supplementation may be useful. Ti stat tho be sure you e got a higher protein diet than you e had prior to now. Be sure you’re hydrated- electrolytes are usually needed to make sure that’s happening.
@@Flipping50TV thank you..
I'm kind of frustrated about finding what exactly everyone means by "lifting heavy" means. I'm a beginner. I bought weights that are 20lbs, but I don't know that these are "heavy" enough. I am short (under 5'4").

Can us older women lift our sagging booty??. Please, give me hope
I found out the hard way that you can't outtrain a bad diet. As soon as I started following the Agoge Diet, I have noticed amazing muscle growth.
The main cause of calcium loss is eating products made from beings that have been killed (meat, eggs, dairy). There are other causes but this is the main one. Meat is acidic and leaches calcium from the bones. By not eating meat, dairy or eggs you will keep that calcium. Of course do the weights anyway, just in case but now there is a safety net.
you don't look 50

You’ll understand once you get a dxa scan and find out you have osteoporosis. We’re all losing bone density as we age. Drs usually only try to put you on toxic drugs that don’t help. You can help yourself by exercising and cutting out things that pull calcium out of bone like soda, smoking.❤

Just wonderful, been searching for "best exercises with weights for women" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Seyliana Strength Salgado - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my work buddy got excellent success with it.
I think she explained it clearly and very well and she seemed to get right into it. I guess my life isn't as busy that I can't spare 9 minutes to learn something. How do you even have time to do weight training?

yepper once ur 50+ its all down hill unless u look like christy brinkley or valorie bertinelli your invisable.
NOT TRUE AT ALL. "All down hill" is NOT automatic. The longer you keep moving and working, the longer you maintain the ability. Age is just a number and 'old' is a state of mind.

Hello Carol 🎅
Confusing & rambling. I'm sure you're proficient at training people, but your communication needs professional help.
