[quote=Anonymous]I'm a bodybuilder, and here's the general rule of thumb when it comes to reps. 1-4 reps is for strength, 5-10 is for hypertrophy, and 10-20 is for cardio and maintaining muscles. There's also pyramid sets, cluster sets, single sets, and so on. If your goal is to keep in shape with some muscle definition, I would keep it right where you are 10 reps while changing rest intervals and/or speed of the reps on occaisions. If you want mixture, try free weights, throw in some pylometrics, do kettlebells, push a prowler sled if you have access, TRX, etc....to avoid the plateaus and training stalls once you get into a regular routine. At 60, with regular weight training you will look and feel great! [/quote]
