My local gym has been closed for months now since covid landed. It's been a big loss. It was oprn briefly during the summer. I've been able to get some home equipment in and can get through a basic routine in the garage. But I really miss relaxing in the sauna after a workout. I've been thinking about getting a small infrared sauna in. A real sauna would just cost too much. Is it safe to sit in an infrared sauna? I've never used one before. It sounds a bit intimidating. Have any of you tried them?? :)

Is anyone on here in their fifties or above and still working-out strenuously or heavy? Have you experienced any pain? What to avoid? Are you on hormone therapy? I ask because I will be heading into my fifties soon and would like to take precautionary and preventative measures. When I was in college 25 years ago, I remembered some old men (in their sixties) pumping out pretty heavy weight for their age, such as squatting/benching 300+ lbs. I have always wondered by the time I get to that age, would I still be fit like them. Long behold, I can't believe it, 25 years flew by just like that, especially through this pandemic, lots of reminiscing of time. I don't smoke, drink, drugs or any of that. Have lived a pretty clean life, including aerobic (heart) and anaerobic (muscle). My biggest surprise was when my testosterone dipped when I entered my forties. Since then, I have been taking ginseng, fenugreek, tribulus (even months), ZMA, etc... to boost it. I have never had a colon or prostate test which I will have to schedule for those soon. Yay! Please let me know if you have changed your routine on anything in your fifties? Or if you recommend any lifestyle changes. Thank You
