Maintaining Muscle for Quality of Life - more than just working out

 Check out the pic of a shirtless Bruce Lee on an Asian talk show back in the early 70’s.  Without question, Bruce Lee was the most famous martial artist of our time and had the physique that matched.  And those that know me, already know that I’m a big fan. 

Bruce Lee on an Asian talk show with ripped abs

It’s hard to believe Bruce was 5’8” and weighed only 128 pounds.  You don’t have to be massive to look “ripped”.  Guys talk about getting pumped and  dream about having a six-pack. You can spend all your time working out yet muscles covered by a layer of fat just makes you un-jacked….

 

Vanity aside, we all know that excess fat is harmful for the body.  However, most people don’t have hours to spend in the gym -nor should they.  Besides, this results in over-training that leads to stress and injury.

I used to spend a lot of time in the gym and was constantly eating to “build muscle”.  As you age, this gets harder to do and in the long run not necessary.  Your goal is to be strong and to maintain strength, yet be lean and healthy.

 

There is no denying that YOU NEED TO MAINTAIN MUSCLE.  Muscle loss contributes to chronic inflammation and hormonal imbalance.   To do this you need to resistance train, eat well, rest and sleep for recovery.

 

However, if your goal is to be lean, cut, or for most of us, healthy with a great quality of life, your diet is still the main factor in achieving this!

Stop the Excuses!

“I’m just too Tired”  “I don’t feel like it”

I hear that all the time from people.  Just like those people who have good intentions with their New Year’s Resolutions but can’t seem to drag their butt off the couch and get away from Netflix binging.  “Maybe I’ll start tomorrow” they say.

But did you know that;

Tiredness results in obesity, depression and many other illnesses?

Tiredness is the reason for low efficiency at work and school.

Tiredness is blamed for 20 per cent of road and domestic accidents.

20% of the population suffer intense fatigue severe enough to interfere with their daily life. 

25 to 50% of people visit their healthcare practitioner with low energy as a main symptom.  And thanks to Covid, it’s probably much higher!

Unfortunately, people blame the effect rather than the cause.  

Sure, a lot of depression and exhaustion is emotional, with a steady surge on our stress hormones.  However, the current 24/7 culture affects the mind body condition.  We need to recharge our minds and our bodies.  

The reality is, if you want to have a better quality of life and ample energy you need to make an effort

In order to get motivated you need to COMMIT.  Commit your mind to a new vision of yourself focus on positive not negative thoughts.  Turn over a new leaf and reinvent yourself.

And one of the best ways to reduce tiredness, depression and obesity, is to commit to EXERCISE.  

Think “Use it or Lose It”.  - Your body deteriorates from lack of use, causing fatigue and weight gain.  And, only YOU can change it!

Commit to 30 minutes of exercise a day.  If that’s too much, try for just 10.  Go for a walk, pump some iron, or do yoga.    Sure, committing to a fitness regimen seems hard.  Nothing worth doing is ever easy.  But you must think you can and try.  

If  you are having trouble getting started a personal trainer can help.  Try a group fitness class, or an online workout. You are NEVER2OLD! Once you commit it is easy to get hooked and never go back. 

Commit to making the most out of your valuable time.

Commit time for YOURSELF!

Just remember: either you commit yourself or you quit yourself!

RESISTANCE TRAINING QUIZ

How's your fitness knowledge?  10 questions on strength training - see how you do!

1.Will I get bulky muscles if I strength train? 

Men have 10-30 times more testosterone than women.  *

Along with a string workout regimen and nutrition, Muscle Building Factors include (1) Testosterone (2) Illegal Drugs (3) Genetics.

2. Is it easier for some people to build muscle & get stronger? 

Yes – the outer bounds of personal fitness are genetically determined.  But realty, you should focus on personal improvements rather than comparisons.

3. Do some weight equipment develop long-lean muscles? 

When it comes to equipment, No - your muscles don’t know the difference.

Muscle Development contributions include (1) Genetics and what your program consists of: (2)Resistance and (3)Intensity/Duration.

4. How long before I feel stronger & see changes in working out?

 It really depends on your commitment and intensity.  Initial strength improvements happen in the first 4-6 weeks .  You can wake up 50% of muscle that was previously inactive.

5. What happens to muscles when I get stronger? 

You can get stronger without getting bigger.

75-80% of strength gains come from nerves being able to rally dormant muscle fibers to contract.

20-25% come from your muscles getting bigger (hypertrophy).

6. Do Muscles Turn to Fat if I stop strength training? 

No. Fat looks like thin-walled honeycomb & muscle like bundles of straw.  An athlete that quits training, the muscles shrink (atrophied from disuse) & if they continue to eat & not exercise they will gain weight.

 7. Does Strength Training Spot Reduce areas? 

No Spot reduction is not possible.  You can however influence muscle definition by (1) Losing Fat and (2) Strength training.

 8. Should I get in shape before I start lifting weights?  

No.  Lifting weights is non-impact & increased muscle gains help to burn calories, lose weight & increase metabolism.

 9. Should  Woman’s Strength Program Differ from a Man?  

No, although everyone is different, it really just depends on your fitness goals.

 10. Do I have to spend hours strength training to get results? 

No, 2-3 times per week for 30 minutes per workout is all you need. Hey, that's one of the main benefits of Dynabody Fitness workouts.   Intensity and commitment are the major factors in seeing results – both in the way you look and feel.

Deep Regret…. Moving forward

It is with deep regret that I was informed that given the COVID situation the school division has suspended all continuing education leisure courses.   Although the plan is to follow the province’s health and safety measures, the division did not want to risk the chance of participants spreading the novel coronavirus in a school environment.


This is extremely disappointing as I know that I missed not just the workouts but the fun times and healthy relationships created with everyone that has participated -And I know I’m not alone!


As you know, we need to keep moving and participate in physical activity - both for our health and our well-being..


So I am looking at ways to keep YOU going.  I realize it is hard to replicate my fitness classes away from the school gym or in a home environment.  There is a strong bond among Dynabods, the friendships and camaraderie is what makes the workouts great!  And,I want it to continue - even during the midst of this pandemic. 


With summer coming to a close, the need for exercise and interaction becomes more prevalent.

Plus we need to be diligent in both protecting and looking out for each other - it’s the new norm….


I have some new ideas planned for the near future.  


I am also inviting my readership to provide feedback on ways they feel would help keep YOU motivated and active during these trying times.


Our health and well-being is paramount, not only for us, but for our families and the community overall.  I would love to hear from you!
