Eric Reyes Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 been always active with martial arts then bodybuilding then kettlebell...now I'm earnestly diving in gymnastics, via GymFit of course, as I came to realize the benefits especially at my age (45yrs old, 5'5", 74kgs @ approximately 12% BF)... my question is, should I discard bodybuilding/kettlebell altogether? or could i still do them? currently doing the Intermediate 1 in Guided Plans.... I'd like to progress in my gymnastics training as much as I can but it would also be nice, if possible, to retain the muscle I gained from lifting... Thanks in advance for any input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I was thinking of not altering the guided plans as I believe a lot of thought has been given in structuring it...also, as a beginner to gymnastics training, I'd rather leave the programming of the workout to the experts...at least for now I was thinking more like adding another session in the day like a kettlebell workout... thanks in advance for the advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
