So…I don’t drink.
Matt (my guy) has been very out there with his decision to stop drinking. Me, not so much. But I did stop …

Another page down. 2426 reps/calories plus a bunch of extra reps not counted just cuz. I’ve added running and interval work on rowing and bike. Easily doing double unders in workouts…finally. Missed a much needed massage this week but scheduled with a different guy for next week. Regular stretching and rolling out has to be augmented with a massage person who understands what I’m doing and what I’m trying to accomplish. Repair and prevention. Train smart and hard. #fitlife #fitoverforty #strongmama #massage #healthylife @m4munson #blog

Another page of effort complete. No PRs as this block was mostly a de-load week which followed a very tough last session. I needed rest. We forget how integral rest is in development but ever hard effort in the gym needs to be followed with rest, clean eating and supportive supplements to help your body rebuild and improve. Working out is pushing your body to its max and then a little bit more. That’s where the soreness comes from. Taking an NSAID (over the counter pain relief) prevents your body from rebuilding and improving because it tells your body, falsely, that there is no need for repair. Proper protein intake jump starts the rebuilding process by providing the raw parts for construction. AdvoCare’s Nighttime Recovery is amino acid and mineral blend that helps the body get into deep sleep which is where the recovery happens and it supplies important building blocks. Check it out. Contact your distributor or if you don’t have a distributor I’d be happy to help you out. Love training and AdvoCare! #blog #fitoverforty #advocare #nighttimerecovery #strongmama #healthylife

Getting enough water in is crucial always but now, when temps are rising and activity levels are too, is a big danged deal. Dehydration negatively impacts your ability to work out hard, it slows your thinking and shows up as head aches and being overly tired as well as hungry when they aren’t. Folks who do exercise are more prone to injuries when they are dehydrated. Adding citrus, mint, cucumbers and berries to water is a great way to improve the flavor without impacting your calorie load. I love my fruit infused water pitcher! It makes it easy to stay hydrated. #hydration #wellness #healthylife #blog #infusedwater

Warm up options. Do a body weight group and a lightly weighted group. Sub out the things you don’t have access to. Ask for options. #fitoverforty #workoutideas #warmups #healthylife #blog

1586 reps this week. Today was the first session of the final week of the second rotation of our 20 week 531 program. 🙂 say that three times fast. Making gains all around. What used to be my 1 rep max on back squats is now done for reps. Push down weight is chasing/pushing @m4munson Bench press weight is getting easier. Dead hang pull ups are frustrating because they aren’t getting easier but I’m getting heavier so there’s that. Checked body fat percentage the other day and was pleasantly surprised to be just under 17%. Side bend weight is also going up and I can’t get sore anymore. Feeling good. Not feeling my age. #advocare #strongmama #healthylife #fitoverforty #blog
