Dave,
I realized as I was aging that I needed a joint-friendly resistance training format, enter the Band Gym. I like all the routines, how to scale the exercises and the constant variety. FYI, I purchased the Beginner Thunder-band last fall (2023) and used the PDF you sent me to develop my routines.
I start 6 days a week with a 2 mile walk. I use the bands 3X per week for a full body workout that usually lasts 35-38 mins, with an average heart rate of 136 (not too bad for 63). I engage in cardio 3 days (2 days swimming 1500 yards + a day on an exercise bike for 36 mins). One day I walk for 3-4 miles.
My goal this year is to implement the mobility routines you strongly encourage (“movement over muscle”), to ensure I maintain the capability to move.
The Band Gym gives me access to so many resources and variety, I never leave home without it.
Remember Dave, we are what we do, not what we say, behavior counts.
Thanks for all you do.
