Hi FS friends I need some advice 🙂 when I started my diet I set a target of 175lbs (79kg) then when I got there I said I can go further and set a new target of 150lbs (64kg) and that I would be there by the end of May 2019. Well I’m here and now what? My thoughts are now to build my fitness. I already walk on average 35 miles (56km) every week but that is the only exercise I do.
I don’t want to be bigger just fitter being in my late 50s I need to manage my muscle mass and calorie intake but as from June the losing weight phase of this process ends and maintaining it whilst improving my fitness starts. I would like to be fit enough to Sea Kayak around Majorca 😎😎😎
If you have any thoughts or advice I would love to hear them my FS friends 🥰🥰🥰❤️🐝x
And PS of course none of this would have been possible without the love and support you give me...thank you ❤️🐝x

Strength training will help improve the relief of the body. My weight for the year remained the same, but the quality of my body has changed a lot for the better.

Sounds like you need to buy a kayak! 😁

I can only offer my own experience. I am 50 and I like the 'results' I get from lifting weights. I didn't start doing it seriously until I got down to 163 (my BMI weight). I only lift weights 2-3 days a week for only 30 minutes at a time. 90% of my workout is to only do squats and dead lifts. Good luck!

As others said best advice will be hit strength training - I am specialist in support medicine mainly in cardiology so as a professional I can suggest you to see any cardiac physiologist just to set your heart in right level to build it , 50 of age can be critical to start weight training without any knowledge specially during weight loss.

Resistance strength training is super important (probably most important), especially as one ages (I'm 59), if you want to move fast and have some endurance, then High Intensity Interval Training should also be incorporated (HIIT, Orange Theory, etc.), finally your walking has probably built up a pretty good Steady State low intensity endurance base, but if you want to build that endurance/fitness base further then cycling (fun, does not seem like exercise to lots of us) can be incorporated...cycling can also be pretty intense (I do lots of HIIT on my bikes) if you want it to be. Great job on you weight loss progress and good luck on your fitness / health goals!!

Oh ya, cycling is very "knee / joint friendly" (even beneficial) and does work the core and back muscles pretty well, especially on longer rides.

Friends of mine from London have spent several "holidays" in Majorca. I'm not a beach person, but the views of sea and sky and architecture are gorgeous! A great goal!

@Steven Lloyd - Yeah "knee / joint friendly" is really important! I am able to run a lot only because I had to learn how to run using the "Pose Method". Otherwise, my knees would flare up so bad...

So in short get my heart checked out, do weights 3 times a week and take up cycling (I think I would prefer rowing machines. Would that be ok?) ❤️🐝x
