Hi Sue,

 

Yep.

My point exactly.

 

" I " can no longer do some of what my younger athletes MUST DO. I'm

63. They are full of hormones and snapping at the bit. Different

rules for them and me.

 

And the " all inclusive " statement you said above, ( " Much of weight

training is homolateral so you need to modify it, too " ), was

detrimental and NOT true or accurate to those that do want weight

training and all of it's very powerful benifits, even with an older

person.

 

In fact studies have shown that even 90 year olds benifit from

weight training when done properly with their age considerations

taken into account.

 

I mean there are proper exercises to do to turn any pot belly, on

men or women, into a flat shape within two weeks.

 

That drill firms up those lower muscles quickly and easily so that

women problems (an men problems) are quickly solved.

 

So, INCLUDE the weight training, as I said, and INCLUDE the energy

drills before and after.

 

And INCLUDE proper exercise so that they are firmed up and

conditioned in a manner that is good for them.

 

Then you have a winning combination.

 

Thank you Sue for clarifying.
