[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know nothing about jiu jitsu but what does being over 40 have to do with anything? What exactly are you worried about?[/quote]

I knew a bunch of people over 40 who took up (or restarted) martial arts, soccer, or volleyball and blew out an Achilles’ tendon or tore an ACL. [b]Old bodies aren’t as durable[/b].[/quote]

I can see that being true for someone whos out of shape and been sedentary. But human bodies are amazing. And in OPs case she is already fit and does HIIT regularly. I'm over 40 and work out daily (sometimes 2x/day) and do a mix of distance running, HIIT with weights, weight lifting and spinning. I've never been in better shape and have had very few injuries. Not saying that will last forever but for now I feel good and enjoy it so I'm just going to ride it out until I don't anymore. I suggest OP do the same - go slow, listen to your body, rest, get adequate nutrition and see how it works out. You'll never know what your body is capable of until your try.[/quote]
