All maybe in the short run after the pain ceases ;-)
I've also read recently that cardio is just not that great for your body. Depending on how hard you push it, it actually releases free radicals into your system and free radicals are super for aging you. Mind you, maybe if you really upped your consumption of antioxidants like blueberries, etc., maybe that would counteract that problem. Anyway my guess is that 'aging' isn't what you want right so don't take my word for it on that specifically, perhaps Googling 'cardio exercise free radicals' will give you more information.

Good info. Thank you much!
That is great about you keeping fit at 61. I hope that I have the same drive. My arms are pretty flabby. Be my boot camp drill Sargent lol
I really tore my booty cheeks up yesterday at the gym lol. Squats, bench lunges with weights, more squats with weight, etc etc
It's been a few weeks of working on it and can already see some good change!
