I always like the beginning of new things. Today I begin my third year working out with the X3Bar and the x3 protocol. The workout is quick effective and, for the most part, fun to do. Split Squats continue to be very challenging. Frankly they would be difficult with not tension. I look at the bar and the resistance sort of like the balance pole rope walkers use. It helps me stabilize during the motions.
I read Dr Jaquish’s admonition to stick with the protocol and not to over do which bands we use. I love working out with the very high tensions but I’ll cut back for a time to emphasize rhythm and form.

Hey! I created a new team on an app called Charity Miles. They have sponsors who pay 10 cents per mile for cycling and 25 cents per mile for walking or running to the charity you select. I selected the Wounded Warrior Project. My team is @Christians_Care. We now have 21 members on our team and have donated over 6000 miles. I invite you to join me.
I give my YouTube vlogs the main title of "Fitness Over 60." It is my goal to build a community of like-minded riders whose purpose is to get and stay active and fit into their senior years. At 60, I see myself as just entering those years. I am not as fit as I would like to be, but neither am I trying to become a superstar athlete. I am becoming more fit all the time with:
-Regular cycling,
-Elliptical exercises
-Frequent resistance training (#x3bar) and
-Ketogenic/Intermittent Fast eating
are the main elements of my fitness plan.
