To support that, the facility has a full complement of high tech equipment, all linked to a database with each individual's training program, so once past the therapy program they can exercise and build muscle under the watchful eyes of a pair of trainers with the machines closely monitoring the weight and range of motion of each exercise. There's also several full sets of free weight equipment; coming back from a long training layoff, I spent the first two months on the machines then gradually replaced machine functions with free weights. The couple machines I'm still using draw comments from the rehabbers about the high weight settings I use; I'll have the weight capacities on those maxxed out soon, and move those exercises to free weights. <br /><br />I talked with one of the therapists about what I considered the extremely light weight they have their patients using, and she said they have to begin with re-establishing range of motion before they can work on strength improvement, and that a lot of their patients' problems go away when they start getting stronger. She also said had most of the patients done more to develop and retain strength they may not have had the problems to begin with. <br /><br />Rippetoe has written about that quite a bit, especially how strengthening muscles also much better supports the joints those muscles manage.

One was aimed at strength training for those with minimal gym access, and featured lifters of all ages and fitness levels, as well as the trainer and his assistants. I remember a 77 year old retired policeman who did modified lifts because of knee problems. But he still lifted, and was an example that older people benefit just as much as younger from strength training, if done right.<br /><br />Congrats on the progress! I've been doing more core/low back work recently and I've gone up 25 pounds on some back exercises. Given that I've got some problems in that area, the strength and reduced pain are delightful benefits. Now, if I just didn't have to work at the work-out . . . :P<br /><br />LittleRed1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-21460430063153020122017-08-31T11:57:09.788-05:002017-08-31T11:57:09.788-05:00On a parallel course, is eating a low carb diet- a...On a parallel course, is eating a low carb diet- after 40 years or so, people are finally waking up the fact that everything we were told by the gov regarding diet is 100 inverted.
