Keeping Up With the Youngsters
I always thought that'-23 was my prime. I was out with the ladies and worked out all the time and felt generally good overall. I played sports at the time as well and was a fairly good athlete both in high school and in college. I never thought it would come to this.
If you have ever participated in a sport your realize all the attention given to being in good condition. You run at practice and then you do a conditioning period shortly after practice all in an attempt to get you into "game shape." The hope is to get you playing your best during games by being in excellent condition prior to the games.
Prior to ever making it to the field we were asked to participate in pre-season training. This was typically weight lifting and plyometric workout (jump training) coupled with regular sport drills. All of this was designed to get into shape and to hone your athletic skills. All of this activity put me in very good shape and I was ready to play my chosen sports.
Fast forward 15 years or so and you would think I lost my edge for one reason or another. Well I am here to tell you that you can have that edge and maybe be even better at a given sport than your younger competitor. You have the knowledge of the game and if you are lucky you have the fitness knowledge that most younger people lack. You can run circles around some of those guys simply because you train smarter than they do.
Intensity was the first smart workout technique I learned. If you are working out just to workout you won't get the same results you could get if you simply increased your intensity. It isn't easy to turn things up in the gym but if you go to the gym to get results instead of just going to the gym to say you went to the gym you might surprise yourself.
Eating whatever I wanted used to be my solution to eating right! I learned the hard way that eating is how you get the energy you need to get into shape. No one told me that carbs are bad and protein is good. Making the right choices with your food was my second secret to a great workout.
With these few secrets in your hip pocket you can now go confidently into the recreation center for a pick up game or join a local league. You will be in awe as you play up to the level of your team even if they are younger than you are, just avoid injury it takes longer to heal. - 17273
