Stay steady Matthew! Consistency is the key. Do not focus on the scale. When you start building muscle the scale may not move because muscle weighs much more than fat. You say you see a slight change in your physique, so that means you are making progress. Slow, steady and consistent workouts. Diet is a huge part of the program. Follow a healthy diet and stop the empty calories like chips and soda. Again you have to be consistent with the diet. It becomes a lifelong habit. You can do this! Mix in some cardio with tge weights. Follow Keith’s workouts so you do not get injured during weight lifting.

Roy, I use the sauna after swimming and it really gets your muscles relaxed. I use it for 15 minutes then take a quick ice cold shower and hop bank in for 15 minutes more. I would do a cold plunge if our gym had one. Sauna is great for your health and skin!

I do the same Robert. I still exercise every day, but only hit the weights every third day. Swim or bike in between along with some cardio kick boxing and daily walks.

Good to hear you are still working out at 77 John! 👍

Eric, I have been “off sugar” for nearly 25 years. That means I do not eat foods or drinks with added refined sugars. My Dad developed type 2 diabetes in his 40’s and had to take insulin injections. I was borderline diabetic in my 40’s. Switched to sugar substitutes for my coffee and other things. I eat fruit daily and my blood sugar levels have stayed down in the normal range. Are you taking daily blood glucose readings? If you are working out regularly you need the natural sugars and carbs for energy. The measurements of sugars in fruits may be helpful but the true measurement you need is your daily blood glucose level. It will naturally rise after each meal, but then settle down. So you measure before a meal. Since my blood glucose levels stay in the normal range I no longer need to take the daily tests.
