Quote from: JewishAmericanPatriot on August 18, 2009, 10:01:02 AMI'm a 50 yr old woman, used to be quite heavy, lost a lot of weight about 10 yrs ago through permanently changing my diet to smaller portions, 5-6 smaller meals each day, and daily aerobic exercise (60 mins a day).A few yrs ago, the fat loss stopped, and I feel as if I gained some back..even though I never stopped eating right and doing daily aerobic exercise.I did some strength training in the first few yrs of my lifestyle change, until I damaged my shoulder with it, and decided to stop. I'd like to get back into it, mostly to tone up my arms, thighs and midsection, but I don't know what or how much to do, considering my age and shoulder injury.I've also had very good results with nagging injuries using nothing more than physical therapy. You may want to look at that if your injury isn't severe and you haven't already.

Take my advice on training. I know what I am talking about cause i am 5 times a week at gyms. And if people can't afford weights or the gym is too costly or you don't have time, you can use anything as a weight. Use 2 heavy phonebooks to do curls for bicep or triceps. Use canned veggies they do form a weight. That is me ^^^^... if any of you guys or gals need advice on certain trainings. Please don't hesitate. I want you all ready and fit, and I want that you are able to defend yourself.
What do you guys think of Powerade? Is it really good for during/postworkout nutrition, better than just water, or is it just a gimmick?Anyway, either way, if you do lift, be sure to drink plenty of water during and after.

Running is also a great exercise. I run every day except for shabbat. I run a 4:55 mile and a 17:59 5K.
