I bought a step tracker, but I am wondering how in the world do I get 10,000 steps in in a day! What do you do to get that accomplished? I work at a desk during the day...what can I do to increase my steps during the day while I am at work? Thank you!

So…not to sound clueless but I always thought resistance training meant with resistance bands. Top thing I took from the video is that it means a lot of things…I prefer using the barbell and kettlebell and I have a sandbag at home and ruck bag so it seems I am doing a little bit of resistance training already. One thing I need to think about is what is my actual goal…I hear about falls over 60 and I saw my own mother struggle in her 80s. But my mind isn’t ready to accept basic movement as my only goal. I’m 53 and I can feel the effects of life already and often the rational side of me wins this argument and I don’t set goals high enough for myself in the gym. I feel like I heard Danny say you need to push yourself if you want to see gains. I often don’t do this. I say “I’m working on my form”

Set 1: x3 rounds (15 second rest b/w moves) Neutral grip chest press (25lb DBs) 30 seconds DB lat pull overs (30 lb db) 30 seconds Chest fly (15lb db) 30 sec Set 2: x3 rounds Bent over row (25lb DBs) Push up Reverse fly (15lb DBs) Cash out AMRAP 6 push ups and 6 renegade rows @ 2min. ABS 5 minutes: single leg alternating v-ups and tuck ups (20 sec increments, 10 seconds between rounds).

I took alot from this video. One thing Danny talked about that is spot on that I don't think people really realize, is that falls as your age increases really is a HUGE cause in deaths. Hip fractures and injuries from falls cause a major decline in health as we age and it is so important to take care of your bones and muscles now to help prevent that. I learned that you need to not only incorporate weights but also bands and other resistance training as a whole if you want to build muscle. You also need to make sure you are not in a calorie deficit, feed those muscles- make sure you are getting 0.8 to 1 gram of protein per pound of. body weight. Within 30 minutes from the end of your workout, get those carbs in. I think for me, I have really wanted to get into lifting weights at the gym, but my biggest issue was not knowing if I was lifting properly, or even where to begin. How much should I be lifting? How often?

I love soldierfit bootcamp and personal training because these workouts incorporate resistance training and those functional exercises. I’ve used all of those items mentioned in the video. I feel so much stronger and have more stamina than I’ve had in years. This summer, I did a lot of yard work and would have never been able to handle bags of mulch and stone without this training. 💪
