Hi,

vintage VFr here. Funny I found this thread. I am 60 and for the first time (menopause) struggling with weight gain - but I am stronger, fitter and able to get through my old advanced workouts now - when I couldn't when I was not "vintage". LOL


I lift heavier now - one day a week at gym with trainer. Trying to just do what I like for fun - but try to do one old, advanced to keep my body guessing.

I do add more rest days. Also realize there are no workout police - you can modify anything (I'm the queen of modification), you don't have to finish the entire workout. My video collection has so many options. I still love Cathe CTX - but I modify the step workouts.

Today I did an oldie but goodie - Cathe terminator - viper - I mixed and matched my own 35 minute workout and I was so surprised that I did the cardo with no problem and just pretty much nailed it. When that series came out - it was such a challenge for me.

But, I am now enjoying band workouts - all of Cathe's - pre-ordered the new ones ofcourse.

I think everyone is different and you got to listen to you body at any age.

I hope I can still crush a Cathe cardio at 70 - even if I don't have to.

You guys are so wonderful!!! I have loved reading your posts. I guess I may be blessed with good genetics? I also don't have trouble with recovery time so for me, I guess I'll keep going until I can't.
I must say I do slow down some, depending on the exercise. I work on my best for, not just a million reps.

I know diet talk isn't allowed, but I also fast and have been told that lowers my inflammation so all good I guess.

Thank you for all your wonderful responses. Keep up YOUR great work! The key is just to keep moving, yes?

HUGS!
