Fitness Over Fifty

Fitness Over Fifty Fitness Over Fifty is all about people of my age group get a whole lot fitter - and have a great time while doing it!

My name is Chris Zaremba, and I have set up Fitness Over Fifty to provide information, ideas and inspiration to anyone who is over 50 and is looking to improve their level of fitness. I’ve been taking my fitness pretty seriously over the past five years, having ignored it for the previous 50. It’s been a journey involving a massive amount of learning for me, and then putting what I’ve learned into practice. It’s now my turn to pass on what I have learned so that others can benefit from adopting a fitness-centred lifestyle in the way I have. By the way, I said above that I’ve been taking fitness ‘seriously’ for the past few years – its actually been a huge amount of fun, and I hope to pass on some of that aspect on the site too. In general, the information here and on the Fitness Over Fifty web site is designed to contain information that should be of help you and motivate you whatever your goal: whether you are trying move the scales downwards by losing some fat, moving them upwards by putting on some muscle, or to pretty much keep the same weight but replace some of the pounds of fat with some of muscle. Maybe that elusive ‘toning’ is the target. It should also help if you’re happy in the shape you’re in, want to stay that way and simply live a long and healthy life. So, irrespective of whether you want to make a fairly substantial change – as I did – or just a tweak here or there, I hope you can find something here that will inspire and help you towards your goals.

As you may know, I'm very involved as a volunteer with MarlowFM - the local radio station for the area where we live. MarlowFM is radio for the local community, provided by volunteers from the local community.

MarlowFM has a big bill to pay for a new home, as our previous location is being demolished. We are trying to raise £5,000 for new equipment through sponsorship of a team from MarlowFM in this year's Marlow Santa's Run.

Would you be willing to sponsor the team, in order to help this funding? If so, sponsorship closes on 31 December - and the link is https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/MarlowFM

Or there is a link from the homepage of the MarlowFM site.

Many thanks if you can help!

Anyone free on the evening of Saturday 9 December and live in reasonable travel time to High Wycombe? If so, come and see me (plus around 50 others from Wycombe Orpheus Male Voice Choir plus the Mill End Voices) singing in up to six-part harmony at the Carols by Candlelight concert!

And you all get the chance to sing as well - join in with all your favourite carols, leaving the difficult ones to us in the choir. The sound will be amazing in the ancient church in town, come and join us (say hello to me at full-time) and continue the warm-up to Christmas in a wonderful, festive way!

More info and tickets on: https://thelittleboxoffice.com/wycombeorpheus/event/view/191048

I hope to see you there!

Recently arrived at Gold’s Gym are these golden dumbbells, each one weighing 300lb. I had a go, and - of course - couldn’t budge one. I am assured that they aren’t fixed down, and it has been seen that people can lift one. Didn’t happen when I was there!

Not really sure about my pre-contest diet….

…. actually this was post-contest (hence the spray tan), so I reckon this was allowed.

Just three months has passed since my appearance on stage at Muscle Beach in the Physique Category - and very happily coming away with a trophy in the over 35’s (and I’m a long way over 35!). Here’s three of us from the six entrants in that age group, with my workout buddy Rob Richley on the left.
