Back in The Saddle Again

Before I retired from the AF spent 2-3 hours in the gym every day off & depending on duty spend 1ish hour every night out in the missile complex

Spend almost a hour a week in the gym on the county fire department and after that….nope, not been in a gym since 2005 😬😬😬😬😬

In the rehab hospital I did enjoy the recumbent bike and resistance machine and drove the physical therapists crazy pushing so hard but never followed up with it 

Now I’m planning on starting out 3 days a week for 30 mins and working up to 1 hour and who knows from there 

Will be strange going on base to the gym as it’s full of military so we shall see if we stay on base or find a gym off base. On base is “free” just not sure what all they have as far as resistance machines so we shall see……

Trying the muscle supplements thing to help with building muscle since us old folks loose muscle mass and struggle to maintain & build it 

Protein 1-2 hours before going, hydration during (salts & minerals) & specially formulated recovery/repair muscle post workout and then a “snack” or meal replacement protein bar. Everything is low/zero carbs & zero sugars 

Outstanding brother!!! I'm planning to do much the same. I have to get my sugar down. My last A1C was 10.1! I'm getting things ready for my tables at the gunshow next weekend. After that I'll move all the crap piled on and around the Bowflex and Treadmill in my garage and get to work. When I look in the mirror I'm shocked to see how much muscle mass I've lost over the decades. I'm upping my protein intake and lowering the carbs. Again.

You report on your progress and I'll report on mine. Maybe we can keep each other motivated.
