Always heartening to hear anout a team with other greybeards! And honestly, with one minor edit, you are absolutely right.
I keep meaning to yoga but it's there with drink and smoke less, wake up earlier, donate more etc. But if yoga keeps the games going a few more years...
I was gonna say - do you lift? It's easier to stay healthy when you can deadlift twice bodyweight
This is true. I used to lift but it was a pretty bro-ey group/instructor and I hurt myself enough times that I switched to swimming (which I admittedly don't do enough of.) I should probably look into another trainer and get back to moving heavy things up and down.
I recommend two things to get started training on your own. First, get a copy of the book Power to the People by Pavel Tsatsouline. Read that, paying attention to his advice for high-tension lifting technique. Then search for Dan John's program Even Easier Strength, and apply Pavel's techniques to that program. You can run the program anywhere between 2 and 5 days per week (whatever works for you). Workout takes about 30 min or so. And you leave feeling better than when you entered the gym.
A 30 minute workout?!? That feels like cheating, I am DOWN!
These words will change your life:
Hmmm, that seems so counter intuitive but I will give that a shot!
Around workout 20 you'll be like "wtf, why is running so easy?" The trick is to not put effort into lifting challenging weights, and instead put effort into mastering the high tension techniques outlined in the book I recommended
You'd best believe I'm ordering these books ASAP!
I definitely kept getting hurt because of the bro-ey "MORE WEIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS!" attitude, keen to try the opposite.
I use some videos from this channel. Usually 30 minutes, three times per week, alternating with soccer/calisthenics days. Works perfectly for me.
(Specifically # 4, 5 and 26 from this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBfRLLhSBb-Ce7jXhButzHMHoQcAf_dgE
But they a lot of other good videos as well, so be sure to look around.)
Thanks! I've tried Yoga with Adrienne but should probably keep switching it up to keep things fresh!
