Knackered - How old is too old?
Вставка

- No I'm not exactly knackered at the moment but how on earth can I keep on going for much longer? Actually there was a point at which it was doubtful that I would be able to continue window cleaning for much longer. I would have liked to have retired sooner but things are as they are. So how have I managed to keep going and stay relatively fit? In this video I give a brief explanation of just how I did it.
Carbs are what we run on. Fruit sugars are so full of energy. Glucose and fructose in perfect balance by design. Cut out meat and dairy and fat instead. Avoid sugars wrapped in fat - cakes biscuits choc bars etc. 67 this year and still cleaning windows.
I deliberately use heavy glass fibre poles and mix it up with some ladder work to try to maintain some degree of wholistic fitness. I’ve recently cut out eating breakfast and find that I don’t get hungry till lunchtime.Running, cycling, walking after work and at the weekends etc also helps. Getting aches and pains from work but I’d be in a lot worse shape if I was in an office!
Respect to you at 66 yrs old!!!
Im 46 and 25 yrs in the game
Weightlifting is the key
Ex powerlifter here !!!
500lb deadlift
500lb squat
405lb bench press
And still going strong
Dont ever give up!!!
Wow, some serious weight there.
Great stuff Chris.... All very relevant and ture well done..👍🏻
Great topic Wagga,I'm 52, been trad 20 yrs up until last Christmas,have a belly now,which I never had before so gonna cut out all sweet things lol if I look as good as you at 66 I'd be very happy,keep safe wagga

Window Cleaners #1
Great video keep them coming! M
Do a bit of shadow boxing 👊 it will keep you sharp
I started when I was 18 after I got redundant at the printers. I'm now
72 and still cleaning windows. It's easier now with the pole.
Better than three tooling. You now what I mean.
Been doing the window game 20 years, and ten plus years power washing. Recently I hurt my back. Any advice for restoring an injured lower back? How do you also keep your neck from getting injured using wfp?
Totally agree about the weights. I'm 51 and have a heavy bag in garden and it keeps me sharp
2023 Wagga are you still alive and kicking
A few people told me that weather did pass awhen
Great topic, thanks for introducing it
Good advice. I to have gone to low carb, also only eat in the evening. I find it’s A rare person that takes on advice, or even researches these topics.still I don’t stop all day that alone must save/ gain 2 to 3 hrs per week.
Yes its hard to take advice I will admit that. I trawled through the net for years now and this is the best guy for true info ua-cam.com/users/drekbergvideos
I'm 67. I was injured using a 30ft pole when my foot got caught by some exposed tree roots. Tried surgery, no luck. So I limp but on I go. If I didn't the television would eat me alive!
Sorry to hear about your injury. I have been lucky
How ever old you are to not go on anymore... My dad's coming 72 and is still eiger to come out with me... And it's a nice helping hand when I am too busy
Crystal clean external cleaning slave driver 😂
@@christopherhawthorne7457 haha he loves it haha
Haha my dad works for another window cleaner and not myself unfortunately. Once he retires I intend him to slave for me 😂
@@christopherhawthorne7457 another window cleaner 😮😮😮 surely that's a punishable act haha
Ino 😂 he was with him before I started out and he’s to loyal unfortunately
I've just got to 33 years Chris & to be honest since I've stopped using ladders I've never felt so unfit I've even thought of going back to trad. I'm 52 & have pain in most of my joints tennis elbow is the worst since using the poles.
Try a lighter pole Tom
I am 55 and have become more unfit with aches and pains using wfp , I have decided to do traditional 50% now , and to be honest I prefer it !
Try a Lighter brush, also Dupont brushes makes big differrence, glides easy on the glass.
I lost four stone quitting sugar now I can tie my shoelaces without bother
Wow that is awesome!
Great, thanks Chris 👍
I'm well down the carb rabbit hole, it's all about insulin and the pancreas. You can blame the good old USA, 1977 they changed there diet from a fat based to carb based, 1977-80 obesity went up 10%, UK adopted this diet in 1980, same thing happened. Anyway, great videos.
Cheers Lee, it's certainly not easy.
@@MyWagga your welcome, I'm from just up the road from you in gateshead, but now living in Norway, been watching a lot of your vids, in the new year I'm gonna start window cleaning, 😁, I have got a lot of great info from yourself and a lot of the other guys on here. 🙏, very valuable
Ive got a customer waiting for me to do a gutter and garage roof leaf and debri clean. 10 yrs ago i would have ate it for breakfast so to speak . I cant bring myself to do it these days. Also If i dont go out walking regular i tend to stiffen up more after work.
I stopped doing gutter jobs years ago but when I started the exercises it made quite a difference. Its hard to keep them up though like new years resolutions!
Iv always said, sugar is poison
Hard to keep off it though.
👍🏻
💯🤙🏼
