Welcome everyone...12 months ago I started research and study
program regarding exercise and it's effect on men and women age
50 and older. I didn't have any preconceived ideas. I personally got
involved for 30 days. Data and results are about 24 men and women and me. So, let me share what we have thus far. Participants had to stop their normal exercise/training routine. Their
exercise was limited to walking for 60-90 days. Withdrawal was
evident immediately. Indecisiveness, lack of goal setting, attitude
and personality changes. Weight gain, craving for unhealthy foods.
Alcohol consumption increased. Quality of work went south. Their
outlook on life became negative. They began to see themselves as
failures, not winners as previously. They became withdrawn. Social
life suffered. Now getting back into an exercise routine was not easy.
Attaining that mental toughness was the most difficult. I will update you on our conclusions in future blogs. So, don't stop working out. My take...don't become my worst enemy.
Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O

Guaranteed!
Hello and welcome everyone...the global attention to my blogs is
very rewarding. Thank you and I will do my best to peak your
interest. Most of us have heard the term "we are the enemy." And
we are in my view. I classify three levels of fitness/training.
1) social, 2) amateur, 3) professional. I am appalled at the number
of men and women who have their cell phones, ipods and head sets
distracting their workouts. Texting during training. The use of these
electronic devises are a distraction. Why would anyone choose to
focus on something other than fitness/training. I conduct several
fitness classes and sports clinics and camps each year...no electronic devises allowed. Safety and getting down to buseness is
the order of the day. Living a healthy life style is serious business,
at least for me it is. Some people think and feel that working out
and training is just for them. Not so...it's also for everyone around
us. Having a positive impact on society should be not just a goal,
but our passion. Now more than ever, we need role models. Look
around. I can't guarantee fitness will add years to your life, but
I can guarantee fitness will add life to your years.
Have a great and meaningful life everyone...JimmyO
