    Don’t move heavy things anymore

    Bad advice. Actually no, horrible advice.

    If you haven’t started lifting heavy things before then now is the time to start. And I’m obviously talking about going to gym and I don’t mean go crazy with it either but when it comes to having a strong body it’s use it or lose it situation. Also yes, don’t deadlift a chest freezer without warmup. Let some 20 year old do that.

    • For anyone who hates the gym learn decent bodyweight exercises. I can’t stand weights and hate the indoor sweatbox. But I’m happy to do bodyweight exercises til the cows come home. Push ups, pull-ups, rows, squats, etc.

      You can get Android apps or check online.

      “Convict Conditioning” is one I’ve used before. It’s designed for people without equipment (convicts in a cell!).
