r/FitnessOver50

I keep seeing routines that are basically breakfast plus 10 capsules.

I'm much more interested in what people have kept after years of experimenting. Do you have 2-3 things you know why you take, or has the list just grown as you've gotten older?

Gut health is the one area where I'm still not sure what to do because the probiotic / prebiotic / fiber advice seems very individual. Has anyone here done a microbiome test before settling on a routine?

Just curious what everyone does for rest days. my split is:

Day 1: Chest, triceps

Day 2: Back/shoulders, biceps

Day 3: Legs

Note: Abs I do throughout the week

I‘ve always sort of considered leg day a rest day.

I don’t have rest days baked into the schedule because with the kids, it’s random days that I can’t make it to the gym. With school starting up again soon, I’m considering intentionally adding rest days.

im not sure if I want to make Day 4 a rest day or maybe just one rest day after two three-day cycles.

just curious what ya’ll do….?

thanks

I’m looking for someone who would be willing to help moderate r/FitnessOver50.

As the community has grown, it has become difficult for me to keep up with posts and comments that break our rules. I work long hours during the week and often on weekends, so I’m not always able to catch everything quickly.

I do pay attention to reports and flags and take action when I see them, but I could really use another set of eyes.

If you're an active member of this community, understand our rules, and would be interested in helping keep r/FitnessOver50 positive, helpful, and on topic, please let me know.

Thank you! ❤️
