On this blog. I'm happy to share with you my journey on strength workout over 40, which I've learned along the way.

🤗 Currently over 40, I'm enthusiastic about Gym Fitness, and Group Strength Training. 

But I once thought that casual running, swimming, & playing badminton were sufficient to maintain a healthy shape. 😬

😷 Then the tide of the COVID-19 pandemic swept through, disrupting our routines. As movement restrictions gradually eased, my wife and I took a significant step forward by enrolling in a structured gym fitness program. 

Little did I know how profoundly this decision would alter the course of my life. 🤩

🏋‍♀ Since that pivotal moment, my dedication to fitness has grown stronger day by day. Under the guidance of a consistent regimen, my life has undergone a remarkable transformation. 

Persevere in strength and fitness

Not only has my physical appearance improved, but my energy levels have soared, my overall health has taken a positive turn, and a newfound confidence has become a central part of who I am. 😎

📢 Let me assure you that the positive changes I've experienced are within your reach too. My commitment extends to sharing the wealth of knowledge I've amassed through my personal journey—comprising tips, tricks, and resources that can empower you on your pursuit of great health.

EXERCISE: Gym Workouts Aug.28, 2023 - Plank Ab Crunches

Hi friends, Happy to share with you another view of my working on those Plank Ab Crunches with my son.  It involves hooking my legs onto hanging ropes, with my hand in a resting plank position. Then my legs will crunch up to my abs. It strengthens my core and abs in the process. Here's the video: Each set last for 1 minute, then rest for 20 secs. Then repeat 3 more times. The first time I ever did it, I couldn't keep it up even 2 reps without resting immediately after. My knee surrender easily, and my breathing was heavy.  But I kept on pushing those baby steps, every time. Now I can carry out the motion without much difficulty. It built up my core and my abs. I'm proud to be doing it with and setting up an example for my son. Thanks for your attention. Gary

EXERCISE: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps - The Ultimate Guide to Building a Sculpted Upper Body Sure. Let's talk about the nitty-gritty of these exercises: Bench Press Shoulder Press Triceps Extensions (Visit: fit40strong.com ) The Bench Press Ballet: Bench pressing is your golden ticket to building a broad and powerful chest . It primarily targets your pectoral muscles but also works your triceps and shoulders . However, to ensure equal growth in all three areas, you must vary your grip width. A wider grip emphasizes the chest, a narrower grip targets the triceps, and a neutral grip focuses on the shoulders. (Visit fit40strong.com ) Rotate these grips to hit all the right spots. Shoulder Press Sensation: Shoulder presses are fantastic for developing those boulder-like deltoids. But remember, it's not just about the press itself; it's the variations that matter. Utilize seated, standing, and Arnold presses to engage different parts of your shoulders. (Visit  fit40strong
