WEIGHT TRAINING ROUTINE FOR THE OLDER PERSON.

Well I seem to have found out why this gym only advocates that his members only do a 20mins workout,and the reason I suspect is that the work area is so very small,that it would be impossible for more than two people to work out at at a time.
So the members are mostly personally trained,and have a set time to arrive for training,or there would be no money made in the business.
So I will carry on as I have trained all these years,now that that bubble is burst of the 20mins workout.

Cool, let us know how you get on, Anthony.

Hi,
    I thought this tip,which I have used for many years,to aid progress,would help somebody out there.
As it's necessary to increase the resistance,to force the muscles to grow,and overcome the extra resistance.
I keep a small notebook with me when I train,in which I record the weight I used on an exercise,and the number of reps made.
As increasing the weight is at times difficult,I try,and force an extra rep,this can be on each set,as say with the Press machine, or only on the last set,as with the squat,or bench press.
So if I squat 10-8-6-4 then on the last set, I try an extra rep each time,until I reach six reps,and then I increase the weight right through the range.
On some exercises I don't use this method,as with say Barbell Curls,you would start to cheat,which defeats the object,as the exercise works better without the swing.
So you can make this type of exercise more difficult if done strictly,you will know when to increase the weight,as it get's easier.
Side Laterals is another that is better lighter weight,and good form,with a pause at the extended position.
