BAJA is Bulldog Amp Joint Open & Close Kinetics Fitness T-Shirt:
IF YOU WANT TO LOOK & FEEL YEARS or even DECADES YOUNGER, STRENGTH TRAIN
Open & Close is a kinetic exercise that applies to cardio, aerobics, and strength training
Closed kinetic chain exercises are performed with the hand or foot fixed, such as in a squat or push-up, which involves multiple joints and muscles and is common in daily activities.
Open kinetic chain exercises have a free-moving hand, arms, or foot, like in a bench press, bicep curl or leg extension, and often isolate a single joint and muscle group.
I include strength training with my BAJA Fitness because it is one of the key methods our bodies can continue to produce collagen regardless of our age. When we incorporate weight into our routine training, our muscles produce a natural growth hormone that contains collagen that replaces our cells, particularly our joint and skin cells, at a rapid pace called neocollagenesis or autophagy.
Neocollagenesis process slows down by our mid-30’s then simply stops after age 60 if we don’t include strength training in our workout. Strength training is a significant part of my exercise routine that people are interested in following the BAJA Fitness routine.
Below, I am 68 years old at our hangar. I have been working out using weights since I was 12 years old. I am NOT talking about POWERLIFTING, but simply strength training at least 3 or 4 times a week just using dumbbells. I don’t have a dumbbell weight over 45- LB.
The following photograph, below, was taken after our photoshoot in October for a promo photo to promote our Open House at our hangar for Veterans Day. I call this my AB Challenge at age 68, this is what I am referring to by the importance of strength training in having an age-defying work out:
If you want to look not just years younger but actually decades younger, eat a diet high in protein, fiber, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats and probiotic and the following;
Potent antioxidants (berries, spinach, cacao, astaxanthin) to neutralize skin-damaging free radicals.
Collagen-boosting vitamin C + glycine (citrus, bone broth) for firm skin and strong hair
Omega-3 DHA/EPA + polyphenols (wild salmon, green tea, extra-virgin olive oil) to reduce inflammation and preserve telomeres.
Vitamin D3 + K2 + magnesium for youthful bones and glowing complexion.
Spermidine-rich foods (aged cheese, mushrooms, wheat germ) to trigger autophagy and cellular renewal
Not only do you not have to act your age, but you also don’t have to look your age either.
A great source of a healthy diet and workout is IRONCLAD-150 Fitness & Catabolic Diet Program that I have followed since my early teens:
