Maggie's Farm

We have been skimpy about fresh workout posts because I think we have said it all. I  think many of our readers have taken it to heart, at various levels of intensity. We think 5-6 hrs/week is good. Will re-post old ones sometimes, and anything new that comes up.

I stand by our Maggie's Fitness for Life program of a combination of HIIT Cardio, heavy weights, and calisthenics. Approx. 1/3 each. Weights only with proper training. Plus appropriate nutrition to meet fitness goals. 

Plus recreational things like walking, hiking, sports, etc.  Those are the rewards of the program.

Yes, Deadlifts are the best single exercise to maintain vigor.
