Resistance Training For Thicker Skin
Updated: 3 days ago
Here are the lifts and reps for the resistance training program I will be demonstrating on YouTube for the next 16 weeks.
Warm up with Total Body Extensions, Mountain Climbers, And Leg Swings. 8 reps of each movement.
The Lifts Are:
Push ups 8 reps for 3 rounds one minute rest between each set.
Squats: same rep and rest plan for the rest of the lifts.
Overhead Press
Romanian Deadlift
Bent Over Row
Bicep Curls or Tricep extensions: alternate for each workout.
2 Training Sessions Per week.
Week 3 Update
I've lost a pound or two, and I increased my maximum full push ups in plank position from three in a row to five without stopping.
Still, I realize that it's harder to build muscle and lose fat at age 62, then it was when I did the Ketogains challenge in 2017.
That's why I've started doing my Romanian Deadlifts with my barbell insead of Dumb bells. For my next training session, I'll also be doing Bulgarian Split Squats instead of regular squats. I'll demonstrate them in my next video. It's eight single leg movements on each leg, so it requires an increase in balance and volume.
When I was a young woman in the 90's a popular exercise program was "Thin Thighs In 30 Days." Now I want to build my quads and hamstrings. That's fine. I'm looking forward to being older, wiser, and stronger over 60.
Here is a link to my latest video where I explain more about my transformation technique. Check out my YouTube channel at 6PM Pacific next Tuesday for the week 4 update.
