One of the best things you can do after you learn the exrcises is to challenge your muscuar conditioning  by combining exercises to do super, tri, monster and giant sets. Why do just one set of an exercise when you can do two, three, four or even five.

In the video above my client was advised to get shoulder surgery. He also had knee surgery years ago. When he first started exercising he was about 40 pounds heavier, got winded quickly and had to use machine exclusively. The exercises he demonstrates requires shoulder strength and stability. His knees support him without any difficulty when performing a free form back exercise and a cable chest exercises in a lunge position.

His doctors would be amazed!

To maintain good posture, stand tall, walk briskly and slow the age related decrease in height,  it is critical that we build bone strength on a regular basis. One of the best exercises to preserve and build bone strength is walking.  If you are a regular walker and your fitness level is above average it is a good idea to add strength building or weight lifting exercises to your routine.

Some of the best exercises  for you to do would be barbell squats, deadlifts, barbell rows or leg presses if you are a beginner. These types of exercises would utilize the largest muscles and bones in your body maximizing your results.

If you are not familiar with working out with barbells (free weights) please get some instructions from a knowledgeable professional.  Always use common sense when training to prevent injury. Do not push to the limit if you are just starting out.
