Are you having to weight train to maintain upper body strength?
I am shocked at how much upper body strength I don't have. I do kung fu forms, with weapons and am finding that it is killing my upper body.
And I also like photography and as a consequence, tend to lug a packsack around, with either cameras or books. And it is getting really annoying at how careful I have to do this. When I was younger, it never bothered my to lug a bag of books around, or cameras, but now, I have to be careful to be balanced, and my back really feels it after two to three hours.
So, I'm reading that "after 50", one has to do conscientious weigh training" to maintain and build strength, because there is natural muscle loss occurring.
So - are you finding this to be true?
I'm annoyed because I've always disliked weight training (high boredom factor).
