How to Train for a Long Time
Summary
- Look at how elders train; mimic their methods early on for longevity in your training routine.
- Older people avoid certain exercises not out of preference, but because they cause pain.
- Training intensely like a young person can lead to inevitable injuries.
- Engaging in high-risk activities like strongman contests comes with a guarantee of injury—it's just a matter of time.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting your fitness journey by looking at how older, experienced trainees work out. They've usually figured out how to exercise without getting hurt. So, take note of the types of exercises they do. Avoid the moves they skip, not because they don't want to do them, but because those moves cause pain or injury over time.
It's a good idea to train smart right from the start. That means not pushing too hard like many young people do. Intense training can lead to injuries that could have been avoided. Remember, the goal is to stay fit for the long haul, not just for now.
Here's what you can do:
- Watch elderly people at the gym or videos of their workouts online. Pay attention to their technique and the kinds of exercises they choose.
- Pick exercises that are safe for your body, even if they might not be the most exciting. It should be about feeling good, not just looking good.
- Stay away from high-risk activities. For example, if you were thinking of competing in something extreme, like strongman contests, know that you're signing up for potential injuries. Ask yourself if it's worth it.
Focus on longevity in your fitness routine. Choosing exercises that keep you pain-free will allow you to enjoy working out for many more years. Remember, we're playing the long game with our health, so let's make decisions that help us stay active and injury-free for as long as possible.
