I have been writing several posts about bodybuilding for baby boomers because I think its very important to keep exercising as you age and using weights to train (whether you compete or not), is one of the best anti-aging things you can do for yourself. I found this great web site, bodybuilding.com, that has a very informative section just for baby boomers (who want to or already are) weight training.
They offer a weekly feature directed toward the aging baby boomer in their 40′s, 50′s and beyond. The articles “focus on improving your physique through nutrition, cardiovascular exercise and resistance training.”
“Whether you need help and advice on losing weight, gaining mass or where to find inspiration, Richard Baldwin, Mr. USA, Mr. America-MW, 1st runner-up Mr. Universe and Diane Fields, ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer, Specialist in Performance Nutrition and featured Fitness Writer, understand that one size does not fit all, especially as you age. With some minor modifications, not only can you maintain your present physique as you age, but you can also make improvements with intense resistance training and proper nutrition.” (quoted from their web site)
“Richard Baldwin, currently 55, and Diane Fields at 45, team up to show babyboomers and above how to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle through goal setting, maintaining high motivational levels, and modifications to nutritional and strength training programs due to aging.” (quoted from their web site)
This is a very informative web site about bodybuilding for baby boomers. I’ve been going there regularly to read about something new, keep me inspired, and learn how I to can keep building my body to stay fit as I age. Even though I’ve been active throughout my life, stressful events happen and you may find yourself not exercising for weeks, months, or even years. Its time to get back to the gym or set up a ‘mini gym’ in your house with only a few pieces of equipment needed!
