DELPHI Age-Defying Fitness System- Diet-Rejuvenate Exercise X-Training Cardio, Aerobic, Strength & Yoga Training for Age-Defying Fitness
DELPHI Age-Defying Fitness System combining ‘Age-Defying’ with fitness, allows you to achieve a higher level of physical performance. DELPHI Age-Defying Fitness System combines Diet with Fitness consisting of Cardio, Aerobic, Strength, Performance Exercise Routine. Aerobic includes yoga to help maintain a person’s equilibrium and, just as important, one’s flexibility.
Never STOP being active and exercising, because as soon as you do STOP being active and exercising, especially after age 20, your health will be negatively impacted. A key component to achieve top level performance in academics, sports, and your professional career is the ability to develop and maintain one’s fitness, balance, and confidence.
But having a sense of impaired equilibrium isn’t obvious in most people under 40, but it usually shows up in a form of mental fog or lack of concentration and lack of confidence. As we age, maintaining one’s equilibrium becomes a serious health threat and a decrease in mental function. We’ve got to challenge our body and mind with exercise and being active in a sport. Mine just happens to be golf, which is one of the best mental challenges.
A Lot of Attention is Given to Maintaining Confidence
A lot of attention is given to one’s confidence, but not enough attention is given to developing and maintaining one’s equilibrium, or balance. I’m referring to a person’s emotional, physical, and mental balance. As we age, we lose a certain degree of our equilibrium that interrupts our mental function. I can personally attest to the lack of equilibrium at a very young age that led to me developing learning disabilities. I had both impaired vision and a lack of equilibrium that severely handicapped my abilities.
Here’s a suggestion I would like to make to all parents- Please introduce your young, preschool children to sports, even if they don’t feel athletic. Because sports just doesn’t only develop a child’s coordination, confidence, and athletic ability, but far more important, the child’s equilibrium. Sports are a great way to check your child’s learning skills, including their vision and equilibrium before they start school.
The best thing a parent can do for their child is to put a golf club into their hands, just for the mental development aspect. A great way to learn the golf swing is to start off with a baseball-type swing first, then transition into a golf swing. Refer to my Orange Bucket Challenge video below:
The Questions concerning My Lack of Development
Everyone kept asking me when I was age eight, two questions- ONE was why didn’t I ride a bicycle? SECOND was why didn’t I play baseball. The simple answer to both was that I couldn’t maintain my balance on the bicycle; and the second answer was that I couldn’t see the ball, much less the pitcher, or anything else outside a 10-inch radius of my nose. I would like to offer a special thanks to Mike Ray for helping me during this difficult time.
Just a simple task of riding a bicycle is critical to a child’s early childhood development. Developing and maintaining equilibrium isn’t JFK (Just For Kids), but is essential for adults as well, especially older adults over 40. An exercise bike is an essential component of my D-REX Age-Defying Diet & Fitness Program.
The Benefits of DELPHI Age-Defying Fitness System
I would like to point to four areas where DELPHI Age-Defying Fitness System is helpful to children and especially to adults over the age of 20:
FIRST– As we age, we start to lose muscle tone and start to gain weight, which causes us to lose stamina unless we supercharge and rejuvenate our bodies with proper diet and exercise. The DELPHI Age-Defying Fitness Systemo and Aerobic Training.
One of my main aerobic exercises is working out with my boxing bag in my GYM, in between my strength and cardio exercises for 30- seconds. I have 14- Elements in a typical workout sessions. That is like Two-and-a-half rounds in boxing. Another technique that I use is to have a respite, between performing either 10 or 20 reps in each element. I take a 15-second respite between my reps. This allows me to do more reps for each exercise element.
SECOND– As we age, we also lose a certain percentage of our muscle mass and strength after the age of 20, with about 10- percent decline per decade past our 20’s. This is where having a strength training component is essential. The biggest failure of some fitness programs is that they only focus exclusively on Cardio and Aerobics, with little attention given to the strength and toning training components.
THIRD– As I alluded to earlier, as we age, we lose our equilibrium, or balance. Equilibrium is a major factor in falls and loss of mental function. Falls are the number one cause of older people losing their independence and mobility, that also can lead to death. I ask you to just look at the statistics of older people that injure their hip and how falls affect their quality of life. I have included Yoga Training in my DELPHI Age-Defying Fitness System for equilibrium and flexibility. On one commercial during the Olympics, a young girl refer to Tai Chi as slow motion Karate.
FOURTH– A healthy Diet & Fitness is a great method to slow down and, in some cases, actually reverse the effects of the aging process. In the featured photograph above, I’m 63 years old. I work out in my un-air-conditioned and un-heated GYM over my golf training facility and photography studio, 5 times a week for 60-minutes for each session.
Sweat conditioning is an important component in The DELPHI Age-Defying Fitness System in my GYM. Especially during the summer months, I refer to my DELPHI Age-Defying Fitness System as my Sweat-It-Out session. This Sweat-It-Out Session is 60- minutes in length, with the heat index in my GYM at 120 degrees.
Sweating is a major part of my workout routine. Sweating during a workout session is actually better than using any age-defying cream or ointment that you can purchase in a tube or jar; and it’s less expensive. If Drug stores carried Sweat-It-Out in a bottle, they couldn’t keep it in stock. Purchase Your DEL-Rx Age-Defying DIET & FITNESS Program
Above, I’m shown in my GYM, right before I started my DELPHI Age-Defying Fitness System on August 03, 2021. You will notice my EVERLAST boxing bag, This is a huge part of my Aerobic and Cardio Training. Besides providing a great Aerobic and Cardio workout, the boxing bag also provides a great training for me to maintain my equilibrium and stamina. Matter of fact, therapists use the boxing bag workout to treat Parkinson’s patients, this program is called Rock Steady.
Why Measuring is Better than Weighing to gauge Your Health & Fitness
I have always been a proponent of taking assessment of your health and fitness by measuring rather than weighing. It is almost as if the health & Fitness profession thinks that muscle doesn’t have weight. Matter of fact, muscle has (1.1 g/ml) weight that is 22% heavier than fat (0.9g/ml). I gauge my fitness by taking two measurements:
Height-to-Waist ratio should be a factor of 2 or higher.
EXAMPLE– My Height-to-Waist Ratio is 65- inches/29.25- inches = 2.22 Factor
As you can tell I wasn’t highly recruited for basketball during my senior year in high school.
AND
Waist-to-hip ratio should be below 0.8 for women and 0.9 for men.
There was a great article written in The Wall Street Journal by Jo Craven McGinty about BMI, dated: 13Aug2021 entitled:
You’re Overweight. Or Are You?
Modeling the Objective of my Weight Loss
When I retired in 2015, I started THE QATSPY® Sports, Fitness, and Apparel Quarters Company, where I didn’t only operated/owned the company, but I actually model in the majority of the photo shoots. I appeared with models in their 20’s. These models work with me in my sports, fitness, and apparel business that carries the authentic leather flight jackets that we supply to the U.S. Military.
So I needed to not only be in good shape, but also look fit at age 64 in the photo shoot below. I depend on my DELPHI Age-Defying Fitness System to provide me my fitness and be in great shape for my photo shoots. For information on our line of leather jackets, click on the image below:
Our A-2 Leather Flight Jacket sets the standard for all sports jackets. The US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket is often copy, but never matches for authenticity, quality, and that charismatic look and feel. Purchase the original leather flight jacket that pilots and elite paratroopers wore with pride and distinction.
