I turn 55 today. I have been resistance training consistently for about 18 months, following a current program of 6 days a week. In between every rep, I do a set of core and stretch. From today’s episode, where it was said that those who take two-minute rests in between sets are better off, how would that apply to my routine? I do the core/stretch as a way to increase cardio and save time, as I don’t have much.
Is it realistic for me to achieve these goals at 48, and what specific steps should I take to ensure success?
How can I get my body back to where I am confident I can perform certain lifts without the long-term aches and pains that tend to follow today?
