Firmly in that middle age, and just looking to essentially set a baseline level of fitness to carry me into the 50's.I feel young enough that I could get into good shape, if that makes sense. My uncle did a similar thing when he was in his 40's, and I guess I picked up on that as a kid. Now, my definition of 'good shape' is likely not everyone's, but without too much navel gazing thats kind of where I'm at.In an ideal world, I get a bit bigger, but not shredded, that likely would make me a bit of a pain to be around for my wife...My leg day generally.Light warmup on a bike/elliptical.Hack Squats starting very low to warm up the knees (set 1) then 3 more sets at meaningful (80% ish) effort.Calf Raises at meaningful effort.Dead Lifts at meaningful effort.Squats at light and then middle effort. Knee's/Back take a bit of a beating on this. Fun fact, I did so much weight as a kid, this is the root cause for what ruined my knees.Leg Extension at meaningful. If I had dont this more as a kid, I may have avoided the issues in my knees!Leg Curl at meaningful.Leg Press Machine - This thing really targets my hamstring/glutes. I dont know why, but this one I can go up to the max on the machine, I will have to replace this with a plates driven leg press soon.Depending on time, and desire to suffer, I will then jump on the bike at high RPM for 10 min.</blockquote>
