Oh Cori. Your videos are always on point. I started getting fit at 52 due to putting on weight, and did my first triathlon at 54. Yes age is just a number as you said. I was the fittest i have ever been, even as a State swimmer in my teens. Had the best PT. I feel off the wagon during covid and now have back issues due to weak glutes and core from sitting around, , and have done for 2 years. Went back to bad eating. Just turned 60. Over weight and just been told i have to lose weight and get my food on track as im pre diabetic. I know how to do this after working with PT. But doing my back exercises bores me to tears. I want to throw my runners on and go for a 10km run. Hello. My back aches just standing. So your video was very much on point and right at the particular point in time for me. Accept i cant at the moment go back to basics and get on with my back exercises. But i can still do weights if sitting on a bench with my back supported. I just need to pull the proverbial out and not make excuses. Funny i was only looking at back shoulder exercises last night to do online. Only problem i have is diabetic you have to cut your protein back, which helps you lose weight. And cut back on the carbs. No more than 25% of your daily intake. Been tracking food in FP and struggling to keep it under 30. But i will get there.

Nurse here. I used to be a kidney nurse and worked with a lot of diabetics. In my personal opinion the diabetic diet the medical establishment gives people is making them worse. I would encourage you to look up alternative treatments for diabetes: namely eating a healthy and anti inflammatory diet. The food pyramid and diet the nutritionists give is not effective at healing the body which can be done. There are many alternative doctors on KZbin that can help you do this. Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Barbara O’Neill, Dr. Ken Barry, Dr. Eric Berg. I don’t agree with everything these doctors say (some are vegetarian) but I think they all have wisdom to share that can help you on your health journey and figure out what works best for you. Best of luck!

It's hard at points BUT we sometimes need to regress to progress. We can always meet ourselves where we are at to build back. So while you can't just jump into what you were doing, you can do the prehab work now to build back and feel and move your best based on where you are now. Also I would encourage you to consider seeing a dietitian. I only say this as I have many diabetic clients and I can tell you our dietitians do NOT do what you're recommending with many of them. Not only does one size not fit all but so often protein truly is ESSENTIAL to increase, not to mention there is so much you can even do to help with healing!

I have stopped being "perfect" in my workout routine and diet. Instead, focusing on mostly being good. I have found that I have less stress and enjoyment in the process. Also, thinking this is a lifestyle rather than a short period of "getting in shape". The result: been the most consistent in workout 2-3 times a week than I have ever been. I know there is improvement, but certainly better than I was.

Thank you very much Cori. Usually I think of the 80-20 rule concerning nutrition. Today I finally realized it applies to working out too. Duh !!! I missed Friday and Saturday workouts. This morning while resting between sets I was initially planning to work out again tonight and then early tomorrow morning to "catch up". Fortunately I changed my mind.. I've decided to let those sessions "go" and just resume my normal schedule. In times past I'd get "caught up" and got injured.

I think I recently hurt my spine lifting too heavy too often the past few months. I'm trying to modify to avoid further spine injury, though I miss doing the powerlifting squats. I'm 31 and feel like I should be more capable than my body is allowing me right now but maybe I trained too hard too quickly after my cholecystectomy. I know I definitely wasn't eating enough and sometimes still struggle with hitting my protein goal, but your videos have been so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much Cori! 💖

So glad the videos have helped! I hope you do get your form assessed and even consider different variations of moves for a bit as you do rehab. Going back to basics and really focusing on strengthening underactive muscles as we improve our mobility and stability can often get us back to lifting heavier again. Because it isn't even only form that matters, but our recruitment patterns. Wanted to share this: redefiningstrength.com/10-mobility-lessons-i-wish-i-knew-sooner?sl=yc

Home cooked makes it easier. You know what you're making and you can save recipes to reuse in a flash. And the more you do, the more you do. You wouldn't tell a kid not to do their homework because it feels exhausting if they wanted an A on the test. You'd tell them the cost is worth the reward ;-) And once you learn what you need, you don't necessarily have to track forever, and it often even becomes so quick you don't care.

@redefiningstrengthOC4 ай бұрын
Yes. I honestly track daily. While how I track has evolved over time and even varies based on my goal or focus, what gets measured gets managed. Try recording what you eat in a day. It can be eye opening to then even give you one thing to focus on to adjust. It's like a recipe...if you want the recipe to turn out the first time you make it, you measure things out and put them in following the order in the recipe. That is the best way to guarantee it turns out. Why not do the same to help yourself make accurate changes and move toward your goals without having to guess? And tracking then allows you to work in foods you love and truly understand your diet over just restricting foods you love. Soooo long answer but yes, I 100% believe in tracking. It also has helped my clients with addressing hormonal changes and even assessing food intolerances. Try it but if you do, go in with an open mind. Saying it is depressing or restricting or whatever does not make you open to a new habit. What's depressing about knowing what you need to feel your best and see fabulous results?!
