I wasn't sure where to place this thread. It could be sports or hobbies. Nevertheless, as I continue to age (I haven't yet located that elusive fountain of youth) I'm faced with a massive contrast between what I was once capable of and what I have become, physically that is. It's a hard pill to swallow. Gives me a whole lot more respect for the old guys like Jack Lalanne.
I once played football and lacrosse and spent a fair amount of time in the weight room with very few injuries or impediments. The table seems to have turned on me and those old injuries have translated into aches and pains in places I didn't know I had.
I've decided to get back on the fitness bus after about a year of misplaced atrophy. I've got a couple grand worth of equipment in my basement that I'm gonna' dust off and reintroduce myself to (I can't stand going to a fitness clubs - seem to be just glorified social clubs). I'll start slowly and attempt to not reinjure a chronic lower back thing.
Anybody here faced with a similar dilemma and if so, how'd you get back into it? Part of me wants to throw the big plates back on the long bar and go at it like I'm twenty again. The realistic part of me says "Slowly, man. Slowly."
