A few days ago I posted an amazing article written by
editor-in-chief of the oldest fitness magazine on the planet.
The subject: Why today’s workouts have it ALL WRONG.
And why they are WAY TOO LONG.
The time you spend in the gym is precious time.
Steve has had the benefit of seeing the world’s greatest fitness pros train,
and he’s witnessed first-hand that A LOT of them train less in the gym than
“ordinary folk.”
That’s crazy!
Well, Steve and his wife Becky decided to write this
article to let you know why:
1. Long workouts do NOT work.
2. Shorter workouts actually slow the aging process
(long workouts age you FASTER).
3. The ‘exact’ system they use to get the job done
in 90 minutes a week (not a day, a week!).
Here it is:
90 minutes a week to a summer-ready
body!
Let me make this clear: This is 90 minutes a week of EFFORT. It’s fun, but
it’s challenging.
And it works far better than long, drawn-out
workouts if you’re over the age of 30.
Steve and Becky are in their 50s and look better
than most 20 year old's.
Just go here and see their pics for yourself:
90 minutes a week to a summer-ready body!
NO hype. This is just a very ‘clever’ and
efficient way of getting in and out of the gym (works without equipment, too)
as fast as possible . . .
. . . while slowing the aging process outwardly, keeping
you healthy inside, and getting the toned, trim body you deserve.
Enjoy the article!

P.S. There is NO obligation to purchase anything
(the article is free, of course), but I would advise you to consider picking up
their FULL 90-minute fat burning/muscle-shaping system while it’s still half
price.

Fitness For Boomers - The Extraordinary Anti-Aging Benefits of Yoga
Fitness For Boomers has become my new mantra. And in the process, I am experimenting with different types of workouts, the so-called anti-aging workouts.
The "Boot Camp"
As part of this experimentation, I took two fitness classes at a local fitness center. The first was an hour "boot camp" - an aeorbics, core, strength-training hour of never-ending movement.
It was a sweaty nightmare and a lot of clock-watching. I have been walking a lot, but I did not anticipate how stressful it would be. At 61, if you are out-of-shape, you are REALLY out-of-shape.
But the benefits are obvious - increased oxygenation for breathing and circulation; strengthing arms, legs, and core; and a 10-minute improve your balance routine. All are anti-aging benefits.
The First Yoga Class
FYI - I have done yoga, but never with an instructor present.
Wow - what a contrast between the "boot camp" and the yoga (which was 75 minutes of introspective focusing on the instructor's commentary and poses with a meditation period at the end).
The anti-aging benefits of yoga are truly amazing (straight from the doctor's pen at http://www.otbskincare.com/blog/the-health-and-anti-aging-benefits-of-yoga/1281/):
• Improves balance
• Straightens spinal kyphosis (the excessive hunching over that happens to people as they age)
• Improves muscle strength and reverses the muscle loss that happens with age
• Improves rheumatoid arthritis symptoms (joints are "oiled" through controlled movement)
• Decreases anxiety and depression (the meditation period was very calming)
• Increases flexibility
This second class was truly enjoyable - the time flew by. And as far as I'm concerned, the anti-aging benefits of yoga far outweigh the aeorbics benefits.
You will realize the anti-aging benefits of yoga if you do it correctly (which requires an instructor, at least in the beginning), AND you take a class according to your skill level. Don't try to jump into an advanced yoga class without knowing the basics.
Oh - and an excellent instructor would also be a requirement for achieving the superior anti-aging benefits of yoga.
