If you don't know you definitely should check out this article in NY Times. Athletes dare the impossible and this amazing woman has just raised the bar for the elite. Well, she really HURLED the bar into space.
I won't bore you with redundant details. The point I'm making here is she did this all and is a full time mom. She answered interviews perfectly. She basically said what I would say to all potential female athletes and average janes. You have to focus on a balance in your life with emphasis on the recovery and nutrition. You have to actually train with REAL weights and use speed and power. Tony Gentilcore coined a pronoun for the types of weights most women go for in the gym, useless paper weights.
So, I'll say it again just because Dara Torres is proof for older ladies to get a clue. You want to look good naked and stay that way for life:
- Eat enough to maintain muscle but less than the cost of your daily activities. If your not eating at least 1600 calories your fooling yourself.
- Lift weights that cause a demanding overload for the exercise you choose. Leave the pink dumbbells to the ass clowns.
- Recover properly....your body must heal for you to be able to reap your goals.
