Okay, I’m old. Jurassic. Just call me Jerry. Jerry Attric. In fact, I remember when computers were not a thing. Do that math.<\/p>\nOkay, I’m old. Jurassic. Just call me Jerry. Jerry Attric. In fact, I remember when computers were not a thing. Do that math.<\/p>\n
One of the outcomes of my advanced age is that exercise affects me differently now than it did when I was still all young and pretty. Before, if I fell down, I’d bounce right back up. Now? I just thud like Randy from Christmas Story, and lay there like a slug to recover.<\/p>\n
An outcome of all this is that doing weight training can make it much easier to pull or harm a muscle. SO, the solution is to lighten up on the weight and increase the repetitions.<\/p>\n
However. If you want to have more tone, you don’t have to add heavy weights that might strain your muscles. Just change your pace. Do the very same set of movements or actions (whatever they are), but now do them at 1\/2 speed and see how that burns your muscles.<\/p>\n
This winter, mix it up. Make your simple indoor activities harder once in a while by slowing the rate of the movement. Slower speed = higher EFFECTIVE weight, without the added pounds that can cause injury to your muscles.<\/p>\n
