A very common preposition under number three "I'm already at that age!"
Many members of the older generation sincerely believe that classes at the gym are suitable solely for young and full people energy. Say, where can I go to the old man for youth. It's been my time to pull the pieces of iron. I'm still traumatizing, God forbid! They may be willing to put themselves in shape, but stereotypes come from other sports are firmly in their heads. What a profound error! Yes indeed, for example in football, boxing or gymnastics to older people, if they are newcomers, it is not worth hoping for great achievements. Stand alone are the power sports and in this their huge plus! Age here has almost no value. And the young student and a mature pensioner, tired of sitting at home, have equal chances to succeed in this field.
History knows a lot of examples when people first took the bar later than forty and even five-year-olds achieved truly tremendous successes on the competition platforms, while winning their much younger colleagues. And about the training to maintain a good physical shape and say nothing. Moreover, not all dream of the laurels of champions. It has long been proven that exercises with weights are very beneficial for the health of elderly people and even have a rejuvenating effect. It is for this reason that 'adult' bodybuilders look much younger than their peers who do not engage in sports. Naturally, the approach to the training process for just beginning athletes athletics career should be somewhat different. It is still necessary to take into account the increased risk of injury due to less mobility of joints and elasticity of ligaments, slower recovery rates after physical exertion and other age factors. Do not take the bull by the horns, trying to 'show these jerks Kuzkin mother.' The strategy is quieter - you will be more appropriate here. But people of age have several important trump cards that young people do not have. Firstly, they are more responsive to the matter, are disciplined and easily observe the sporting regime. Do not skip meals and go to bed on time, because they do not need to dance at night discos. Secondly, they are endowed with patience and do not expect momentary results. Persistently step by step will advance to the goal, and certainly will not save at the slightest difficulty. Thirdly, they just have a time car. As a rule, they do not need to drive children to the kindergarten, work day and night, attend seminars and travel on business trips. Use your advantages and become the winner in this difficult struggle with yourself!
