DEVON ADAMS : Les Perry is a 93-year-old veteran who has been a constant presence in my life, and watching him never stop pushing himself has been one of the most inspiring things I’ve ever seen. Every day, no matter how tired or worn out, he shows up at the gym and puts in the work like he’s half his age.
I’ve heard him say more than once that he’d rather be out moving, staying active rather than sitting around getting stir-crazy at home. To me, Les isn’t just a man who refuses to quit, he’s a reminder that no matter how many obstacles life throws at you, it’s never too late to keep fighting, to keep striving, keep kicking ass and to never stop showing up.
He’s faced more than most, but he never makes excuses. Les is living proof that age is just a number.
What’s your excuse?

When people think about the gym and what it offers the thoughts are usual physical. More strength, energy and less body fat. Improvements in speed and agility, better health. All great reasons to join and train but here are a few more.
Many of the life lessons I have learned about you get what you work for, setting goals and doing what it takes to achieve them, perseverance, patience and doing your best I have learned in the gym.
If you want to get stronger and physically improve you have to have a plan, and you have to execute that plan correctly, workout after workout, day after day, month after month. You have to give 100% even on the days you may not want to. You have to believe in your self and have the confidence to know you will succeed with realistic goals. Perseverance and patience are a must as no lofty goals happen overnight. It takes team work and you rely on your training partners for a great workout as much as they rely on you. You will make mistakes in your training but don’t quit, learn from them and adapt-do it better in the future. When I see younger people start the gym they are full of enthusiasm and energy and that is paramount, but you cannot rush progress and you cannot train haphazardly. You need a plan and the gym teaches them the above skills and qualities.
Life is the same way both family and career wise. If you have great perseverance and patience, if you have a strong work ethic and believe in what you are doing you will have better success. You will have failures and make mistakes but learn from them and do better in the future. Never give up on your goals as long as they are realistic and 100% believe that you will reach them. Yes, much of what I have learned in the gym also applies to life.

With September comes the increase in training frequency and goals. Here are 10 tips to maximize those results.
1) Make sure what you are doing is the best way to get you to where you want to be. Very common goal at the gym is loss of body fat. Approach this with training to increase your metabolism rather than being concerned about how many calories a cardio machine burns. Challenging weight training can actually speed up your metabolism. Cardio and fitness classes will burn some calories but have little effect on your metabolism. In the big picture you will get better long term results with the weights.
2) You don’t have to be fanatical but clean up the diet. Try small frequent meals with a balance of lean proteins, complex and fibrous carbs and a couple of daily servings of healthy fats. Will take some research on your part but its not as hard as you may thing. Nobody eats perfect so don’t go overboard. If you eat really well 6 days a week have a cheat day on the 7th. You will still get great results. Just make sure you are doing it right.
3) You do not have to train every day. Far better to train for an hour 3 to 4 days a week and still be at it in year rather than 7 days a week and burning out in a couple of months. Can even take a few days off every 6 to 8 weeks. Vitally important to stay mentally hungry. If you can’t wait to get to the gym you will have a great workout. Keep the enthusiasm high and the body will follow.
4) Intensity trumps long drawn out workouts every time. Far better to hit it hard and be in and out in an hour to hour and half rather than training for 2 plus hours. Train hard and relatively brief.
5) Do not get hurt. Practice good form and listen to your body. Nothing stalls progress like an injury. Train smart.
6) Supplements are just that, they supplement good nutrition. Protein powders are convenient, creatine may increase your strength a small amount, pre-workout can give you some energy on a really draggy day but they are not near as important as proper training, nutrition and sleep/ lifestyle habits.
7) Above average fitness is measured by above average levels of strength, cardio vascular fitness and flexibility. Train with varied reps. Some sets 8-10 and some sets high reps, practice full range of motion when possible and either keep the rest time down enough to give your cardio fitness or do three 20 minute sessions of challenging cardio exercise per week.
8 ) Get your rest. Both physical and mental. Try and get that 7 plus hours of good sleep per night and do what you can to reduce the stress in your life. Lack of sleep and stress are both detrimental top optimum health.
9) Have fun! Of course hard training is challenging but it is also incredibly satisfying. Train with friends and training partners, get to know members in your gym. Don’t turn your training into a social event with no intensity but you certainly can train hard and have fun with friends.
10) Health is wealth. If you are in this for the long haul do what you can to stay healthy. Goes without saying that performance enhancing drugs can cause damage down the road. Same with recreational drugs, improper training, wreckless sports etc. After 35 plus years of training I have seen too many people quit, not because they want to but because they have to. You can train around some injuries while other injuries or medical conditions can really alter your training. Always train for health and longevity.
