Weightlifting & Exercise/Expert Profile

Expertise

Ask this! - Why do all the self-help books, the exercise books, the weightlifting books, and the weight-lifting magazines - are written by (mostly) guys who are in fantastic (photo enhanced) physical shape who are in their 20's and 30's in age, telling all of us how "we" can look like them, if ONLY we forget we have jobs, families, many physical limitations, daily life responsibilities, and especially NO TIME to go to the gym every day, only by the time they reach age 40-50, or older, we never see, or hear from them - ever again?

Experience in the area

OK, now I am 60-YEARS-OLD. I have been lifting weights for 25 years. How do you like my NEW photo? I have learned 'first-hand' which exercises work, which do not. Exercises that you do NOT need to attend a gym to achieve, exercises that you will use very minimal equipment, and exercises for people with limitations such as sickness, age, and/or injuries. I can especially tell you which exercise machine you see in magazines or on tv; REALLY work. I have tried most everything myself.

Organizations

None. I do not have the time to belong to organizations.

Publications

I answer questions on Yahoo questions. Search 'The Terminator Fan.'

Education/Credentials

I have a business degree. For exercise, taught me to keep good diaries on what exercises I am doing.

Awards and Honors

They do not give awards for giving free advice. Wish they did, though.

Past/Present Clients

None. All volunteer work on AllExperts.

What do you like about this subject?

When I was a young man, I was 6'2" tall, weighed 190 lbs., wore medium shirts, and size 35" waist; pants. For the last 10 years, age 50-60 (right now!), I am still 6'2" tall; no loss in height or posture, XXL shirts, and now size 46" pants. I am big, muscular, strong. What happen to growing weaker and smaller as you grow older.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I am always trying new ideas, learning new things. Books, magazines, the internet, discussing exercise with others. You have to be willing to try different things to learn what works, and what does not... I am grateful to so many people who read my questions and answers, and then give me even better/new ideas that I can also try. Thanks everyone.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Your success, or failure, depends entirely upon the blood flowing through your body. With great blood flow, you have excellent health and excellent strength. I can help you with exercises that WILL make you a better person.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

It takes very little time. It works. And it is not complicated. I can develop exercises for people with physical limitations, for children, for people with little or no time, little or no equipment. Write, I can help you. Also - I am now accepting donations through Pay-Pal. Give, if you can. Thanks.
