Complete viewing of your video by this 69-years young fitness enthusiast. I thought it was a good presentation but there was a trace of stereotyping towards us older folks. Honestly, the content seemed equally applicable to all age groups. I’d add brisk walking as a good activity and, if you can do them, burpees because they address several of the boxes for a person desiring upper-percentile and age-adjusted strength endurance and cardiovascular-respiratory conditioning. Finally, maintaining training and food journals is a great idea to cultivate rigorous honesty. Perception measures may not get the job done. Eat as little as possible to be as strong and fit needed to support your lifestyle. Play with your children or grandchildren. If you do as they do when they’re playing, you’ll get a good workout. This is what retired fitness and nutrition guru Covert Bailey would say.
we all need a good cardio system, some muscle mass, so things are similar and apart based on each person. Brisk walk falls into zone II cardio, for one young and very trained would mean running, but it's the same effect after all. burpees are plyometrics, which falls right into my recommendation of doing jumps. the rest sounds like is applicable for all of us, and you are right, but we are different in age, not physiological needs.
Started serious calisthenics training at 60. Couldn't do a pull-up, couldn't even do 1/2 ROM dips, couldn't do anywhere close to ATG squats (and I had knee issues). Now at almost 66, I can do 12 pull-ups, full ROM dips and I ATG goblet squat with half my bodyweight to a depth of 6 inches (knee issues gone!). Totally rebuilt and gaining! I do dips, pull-ups, ATG goblet squats. Over 400 workouts on my channel. 34+ years whole food vegan, never on meds, peds, TRT. Rarely ill. The reason most die from heart disease is due to eating meat and dairy. My high school era training partner died at 50 while training. Heart attack. I'm still gaining! Also you once critiqued my dips which helped me get full ROM- thank you! My workout today: ua-cam.com/video/WIq4Dk_iEQM/v-deo.htmlsi=8E8XhZhXDna1Id-H
Excellent, I'm sincerely happy for you; I've seen some of your videos, and you are proof that it's possible. I disagree with your statement regarding meat or eggs. Studies are not conclusive in this regard, and it's not so much the diet that leads to cardiovascular issues but rather sedentarism and the lack of a developed aerobic system superimposed on a completely disordered diet. I eat eggs, meat, and my tests are up to date, showing not even minor risks of developing cardiovascular diseases.
@OldSchoollCalisthenics thank you. My friend who died at 50 (while training) showed no signs at your age. Just remember this for your future. Much respect to you. 💪💚
I’m 66 now and have been following your videos for a number of years and taken great inspiration from them. Thank you for all the great information. BTW the food you show always looks so delicious, can you post some recipes please.
You are so welcome! I don't know why it is so difficult for me to post recipes actually. It's something I still need to experiment and see. But will need to eventually do it.
Thank you for all your information. I'm going to be 59 in a month. I have been involved heavy in fitness, and martial arts since I was a kid. The biggest difference for me has been recovery time between workouts. I really noticed a difference around my early 50's. The only thing stopping me from performing the same as when I was 20 is this. If my recovery was the same everything else would still be the same. In the end thought nobody escapes father time!!
I agree, and this is the other reason why protein intake should be pretty high, to boost this recovery process. Also, I recommended the green zone, it as a great impact over recovery through mitochondria development and oxygen uptake.
Hello, can you also make a video directed to peole who have a weak lower back / disc issues? For example where to start calisthenics , or which exercises are safe for this case, or how to build a stronger back, etc. I think there is alot of people with back issues and it could benefit them
Two biggest problems in retirement are sudden lack of human interactions, day to day problem-solving / mental work humans used to do everyday in work. So do activities in groups, societies, clubs... And second is misguided "savings" on nutrition, savings on house heating, not understating that colder you are, more you have to eat to compensate for energy outtake.
Can you make a calisthenics video directed to beginner women?🙏🏻 like where to start from, advice etc. I can't even do 1 push-up or pull-up😭 seems almost all women are the same.
Thank you that would be awesome! Because when i search calisthenics videos usually they are directed to men. And even beginner men level is so difficult for me that it makes me almost give up and dont know how to start
There was a well know book put out about 15 years ago called Convict Conditioning that was a program of calisthenic exercises - beginner to advanced. Yes it was pitched at a male audience, but it was basically presenting a sensible hierarchy of exercises, from easy to difficult. It had companion DVD's which are now available on YT - quite a lot of good ideas in there, It starts with very low resistance versions of exercises. Here's a link to it, it may be helpful. ua-cam.com/channels/XQa6imK9KIZftTSLj4mxoQ.html @@esi22
You should really do a new program focused on explaining further what you talk about here, I would be right in line to get it. (After-all I got just about everything else you have made😂)
You could name it, “Old Geezer Fitness’ or something 😂. I really think there is a great lack of advise on how to train as we get older. @ 57 myself, I’m not a sedentary person, however, there are plenty of things I have had to adjust in my training, (many just in the last couple of years), which show I could use a bit of help & advise in.
Very few train around that age and it is why I also wanted to make videos on the topic. Will continue to talk about this. I may do a program once, maybe as I get older myself.

thanks by the way for watching and taking time to give an elaborated feedback.
Great info thanks very much

Let me tell you what it feels like to be 60.
If you don't give yourself enough recovery time, you will regret it.
