Picture this: One of my male coworkers who’s about five years older than I am wagging his finger at me all the while saying “you need to quit lifting all those heavy weights”. I looked him straight in the eye and said give me one good scientific reason why I should. He couldn’t.
Just because he doesn’t do it perhaps? You’ve got me.
You all have no idea how close I came to throwing up all sort of stinging retorts, but I bit my tongue because I know better than to buy into someone elses thoughts on aging. This is my life, my mind, my body and most of all my DETERMINATION.
In my humble opinion if you are listening to your body, feeding it the proper amounts of clean healthy foods, staying injury free, and have determination there is not a reason in the world you should stop or even fear starting to work with weights.
Perhaps it was that very statement that spurred me to swing a 2.5 pood (90 lbs) Kettlebell this morning just to see if I could do it. YES. I. CAN.

Hee hee hee… I kinda hope he talks to you again tomorrow. 🙂 2.5 pood = NO JOKE!
Totally agree Caroline! 2.5= no joke!
For his safety – I hope he doesn’t! If he does, maybe he can ask for some guidance on lifting!
He already calls me “she-hulk”…bwahahahaha!
You are disciplined! Such self control to respond so graciously!!!!
I learned to be gracious from you Pam! You are a wonderful example!
