They said I was too old. Too late. Too whatever. 😂

Someone at the grocery store looked at my arms and said, "Honey, aren't you a little old for that?" I'm deadlifting twice your husband, but okay.

I didn't start lifting until I was 58. Kids were grown, house was quiet. Everyone thought it was a phase. Seven years later, it wasn't a phase.

Turns out when you stop listening to everybody else, your body doesn't care how old you are. So if you're sitting there thinking you're too old — start today. I'll be here. 💪

Nice piece of advice!!! I told you before, you're encouraging people to take care of themshelves and to train no matter when and why. I started a few months ago because after pandemic, my profession (software engineer), and getting too fond on learning languages (german, french, italian, portuguese, in addition to spanish, which is my mothertongue, and english) and learning to play the guitar (all very static activities) I was starting to have pain in my knees, elbows and wrists. I went to the physiotherapist. Diagnostic: you have chicken legs. Go and build muscle! And get out that stupid knee band! One month later, I recovered all the muscle that I had when I was 18 and went to the gym. Two more months later, I'm more bulky than ever (thanks to that "muscle memory"). I've put 6 kilos in 3 months, my waist is the same or even thinner, while sweaters and t-shirts are funnily super tight now, specially in chest and arms. I'm not huge, but I'm proud of all the muscle that I've developed with discipline and a good diet. And I'm motivated to keep going. I don't have pain in the knees anymore. My left elbow is not painful anymore when I play the guitar. I started this week doing pull-ups again after 20 years. In the first day I could do 3 series of 5 reps well done, from way below, arms stretched out, way up, with my chin above the bar. And I'm proud of that, because I rembember how hard it was with 18 to do the first pull ups, and I thought I wouldn't be able to do even 3. I learnt that fitness is not just narcisism. It's actually good for your health. And it's because I've learnt this, that now I'm motivated. I have a good reason to keep going. My legs? Still chicken legs, because I'm tall and "leggy", but I have no pain, they are hard now, and I've the patience and the discipline that I applied to learn languages and learn to play the guitar. It will take time, but I'm not in a hurry.
