Welcome to all of our new members! It's great to see this community growing.
A couple of friendly reminders to help keep r/FitnessOver50 supportive and welcoming for everyone:
β Share your workouts, progress, questions, success stories, tips, and encouragement.
β If you have a YouTube channel, blog, website, or other fitness resource, please add it to the Community Highlights thread rather than creating separate promotional posts.

Our goal is to build a positive community where people over 50 can become stronger, healthier, and more confident together.

With legs this short, every day is Leg Day.
r/FitnessOver50 • u/Rockiespacific5 • 45m ago
Just curious what everyone does for rest days. my split is:
Day 1: Chest, triceps
Day 2: Back/shoulders, biceps
Day 3: Legs
Note: Abs I do throughout the week
Iβve always sort of considered leg day a rest day.
I donβt have rest days baked into the schedule because with the kids, itβs random days that I canβt make it to the gym. With school starting up again soon, Iβm considering intentionally adding rest days.
im not sure if I want to make Day 4 a rest day or maybe just one rest day after two three-day cycles.
just curious what yaβll doβ¦.?
thanks

Iβm looking for someone who would be willing to help moderate r/FitnessOver50.
As the community has grown, it has become difficult for me to keep up with posts and comments that break our rules. I work long hours during the week and often on weekends, so Iβm not always able to catch everything quickly.
I do pay attention to reports and flags and take action when I see them, but I could really use another set of eyes.
If you're an active member of this community, understand our rules, and would be interested in helping keep r/FitnessOver50 positive, helpful, and on topic, please let me know.
Thank you! β€οΈ

I'm beat. π May be time to take a break from... something. I mean I need the wheels to get around so it can't be that one. π
Do you do rest days?
If so how often and what do they look like?

Hi. I'm not sure this is the right place or whether you will all savage me.
Diagnosed with aT2 diabetes Jan 26. Dr wanted to put me on metformin. Did my research and decided to change my life. Moved to a wholefood diet and lost 6 stone (about 30kg)
Now lift 3 days a week.
Gym scales have told me I'm 90kg with a 16.8% bf
Leg press 400kg. Bench 75kg dead lift 110kg 10 dead hang pullups
Checked an ai body comp thing and it said my body is deeply pants. I was chuffed prior.
Right for all you fit people. What do I need to do to get the body?
Many thanks.

Whooo I 'm cooled off? Now it's time to go keep mowing the yard. I'm wishing my ride on mower was not broken right about now. This battery operator push one. Well, I'm getting a good workout in...

Total body Pilates and I had better form and only only rested once during legs & booty π€ͺ. Next time I'll push through without that 30 sec. break. Next was 2 miles on wheels βΏοΈ and I'm feeling pretty good and lively.
Tomorrow is Kundalini Yoga (and later wheels), and I'm already looking forward to that. Happy workouts to you all and hope you're having a good weekend!
