Speaker: 00:00:00

This is Scale to Fit Fit in your 50s. Restarting exercising and feeling like a rookie at the

Speaker: 00:00:13

age of over 50. With Marko Lindgren. That was the second season of Scale to Fit Fit

Speaker: 00:00:20

in your 50s. Thank you for joining our journey to making exercise enjoyable for a better and

Speaker: 00:00:25

fitter self. During the season I emphasize scaling exercise to fit your life and capabilities with

Speaker: 00:00:34

a focus on joyful movement rather than grinding through a based fitness. I share my personal

Speaker: 00:00:40

transformation from being a sports hater to discovering the joy of physical activity. In a

Speaker: 00:00:46

topic of walking and movement foundation I cover the benefits of walking as a gateway to fitness,

Speaker: 00:00:51

including the science behind a runner's high. Essential gear selection from proper footwear to

Speaker: 00:00:58

moisture wicking, clothes and safety equipment and advanced walking techniques like rucking for

Speaker: 00:01:04

strength training. What comes to starting and sustaining fitness I discuss a practical advice

Speaker: 00:01:10

for restarting cardio routines after 50, emphasizing gradual progression and listening to your body and

Speaker: 00:01:15

importance of rest days and recovery strategies including sleep and natural anti-inflammatories.

Speaker: 00:01:22

And not forgetting building sustainable habits through consistency over intensity. I also talk

Speaker: 00:01:30

about specialized training methods for body recomposition, nutrition strategies for building

Speaker: 00:01:35

muscle while losing fat, bodyweight training, equipment free exercises that can be done anywhere,

Speaker: 00:01:40

focusing on functional movement and balance training which is essential exercises to prevent falls and

Speaker: 00:01:48

maintain stability as we grow up. And not to forget the fun part of adventure and community. We talk

Speaker: 00:01:55

about ultra walking, have some insights into long distance walking and pilgrimage routes like the

Speaker: 00:02:01

Camino de Santiago and gravel biking transitioning from walking to cycling for joint friendly cardio

Speaker: 00:02:07

with greater range. And have a CrossFit perspective, maintaining gym routines through community support

Speaker: 00:02:13

and realistic goal settings. The second season includes walk with me episodes featuring experienced

Speaker: 00:02:22

practitioners like ultra walker Jyrki Wahlstedt, longtime CrossFitter Yaohui Liu and CrossFit coach

Speaker: 00:02:28

Tobias Kundmüller sharing real world insights and inspiration. The promise of the season is to make

Speaker: 00:02:34

fitness accessible, enjoyable and sustainable for over the 50 crowd with practical advice backed by

Speaker: 00:02:39

both science and my personal experience. And not to forget the main point what I like to make,

Speaker: 00:02:45

don't do nothing, do something and scale it back. This was scale to fit, fit in your 50s with Marco
