“Women do not realize in order to get real visible effects from resistance training they need to push it each new workout and go hard once a week.”
I’m 45 and the only way I look the way I do and have the strength that I do is proper “clean” nutrition, calorie tracking and hitting the iron VERY heavy at least one per week (old school HIT). The Crossfit keeps me very flexible in all functional movements and keeps my BMR high. My cardio capacity is better now than it was when I was 35.

Interesting posts here. I use moderate weights/pull-ups/chins, 2 upper body and one lower workout/week—I worry more about pulling muscles now. Off days more walking and mild biking, and yard/garden/farm work. I turn 60 in a couple months but can still do more pullups/chinups than most men of any age.
