I came to exercise at 52 after a lifetime of nothing and a life threatening asthma episode...so I learned and experimented knowing well enough I can't do what the kids do because of my past and age and infirmities. Tried so much and that has led me to where I am now from DDP yoga to Altas to Isometrics to the Bullworker. The bullworker took up a good amount of time and I gained muscle and bulk but it was also hurting me and I realized ..nope no good, read up on Zass and took a more common sense approach, now I want a functional, strong, lean body that can age well...I think I found what I was looking for on this 2 year trip......How have your goals and preferences changed??

I watch alot of these younger people doing all this crazy stuff...I'm glad I found what works I also tend to old school stuff, although I have found the body blade very compelling.
Hi Steve - the goals and training change periodically. I think the biggest pitfall most of us fall into, is to let the training become the end - squatting X amount of weight, doing X amount of push-ups, etc. There comes a certain point with any exercise or style of exercise where it becomes detrimental because we get results and push on regardless of the overall fitness and appearance that exercise is producing.
Steve glad to see Your journey and where it has come. Making the decision to start at 52 years old is something to be inspired by. Keep up the good work!
My goals and preferances have not changed much. Because of my work I have to be able to preform at a certain level. So my nutrition and exercise plan has to be pretty much geared towards more athletic. I need energy, endurance, and strength.
