What a great bunch  Love “hearing” you all talk. I’m on a similar journey / of a similar mindset - make a few more gains while I can (at 57) by pushing hard, then work to keep as much strength and flexibility as possible for as long as possible. I’ve been trying to convince my nieces they should build muscle now (both still below 30) as their menopausal future selves with thank them 😂

Hope so, GM. I wish I could convince my sister to find some kind of exercise she would enjoy doing because at the moment, she does none.

It’s a shame if there’s nothing active she enjoys, Ness. Doesn’t have to be running, cycling or anything remotely sporty to have great benefits. You must be very different: |

We are! And I can get that walking, running or weight training aren't her thing. I'd hope she'd find something. Dance classes, say? With our family history of osteoporosis risk it would be better if she found something.

I don’t dispute that you’re all very nice in this thread but I resent the implication that the blokes on fetcheveryone.com/forum/arms-like-garth---a-weight-training-wire-62488/ aren’t. However, I only resent it for comedic effect.😉 |
