Motivate and Encourage

Wow that's cool Gary!

Basketball is a high power-output game.
Playing it for two hours against 20 year olds before getting winded is quite an accomplishment at 48.

Endurance (with quick cardio recovery) takes time to build.
But if you follow Doug's advice, in a few months those 20 year olds will fall out before you do!

Peace!
Tony

yeah tony... I'm a glutten for punishment!!! i am getting ready to head back to the courts for another round of punishment hoops was something i started just to get out and sweat... but now i really enjoy the competition...when i first started my knees & ankles would be soooo sore the next day after just shooting around for a while... today PAIN FREE

I like your competitive spirit, Gary!
But remember, we're not teenagers anymore.

Be careful out there and don't blow out a knee!!!
Knees are far more fragile at 48 than at 21.
Knee injuries have put down more football and basketball players than I can remember.

I want to hear about you putting those young snots to shame for years to come!

  what happened to phil?
      anyways after a couple of months of slacking on the workout end
(i have maintained the walking,even with the cold temps,snow/ice etc.)
 i started "feeling" fat again, i didnt gain any weight,i just felt flabby, 2 weeks ago i was back on the boflex,boy was i sore that 1st week, but i can already feel the difference, and i am back in the "routine"
    Doug....even after years of maintaining... do you still "feel fat" sometimes?

[Doug Varrieur]

I think "soft" is the better word. When my core muscles are tight from some form of activity I always feel thinner even though the weight is the same. A simple routine of old fashioned sit ups and push ups coupled with running in place for ten minutes is really all you need to do to maintain. I just HATE doing them! 

I don't know what happened to Phil. I'll send him an e mail  Knock Knock
