Incline on treadmill. Once a week intense boxing class. |
It's me (I'm OP). Thank you all to your thoughtful suggestions. |
Sorry - I am OP, but not the 60 year old. |
To the 60 year old: If you have never been an exerciser, almost anything you do will give you a nice benefit. You should probably be careful when starting. THe person who recommended a gym and trainer had a good idea. THe most important thing is to find things you enjoy. There are so many different options! Best wishes from another 60 year old |
Op, what about orange theory? |
For me, intensive elliptical is the easiest way to get my heart rate up. Walking at 4 MPH is around 130-139, as is swimming a mile at around 36 minutes/mile. Elliptical with arms gets me to 140-170. Running could do that too but I despise it. |
OP, I’ve tried it a couple times and liked it. But it makes me want to eat a horse after. |
That's not a bad thing. It's likely your body telling you it needs protein to build muscle. |
