70th birthday 100 burpees workout

 

Pierini Fitness recently and quietly crossed a line in the sand new decade of life with his 70th birthday and entered new and uncharted life territory as a septuagenarian; he is #FITAT70 and blessed.

 

Continuing with an annual tradition started on his 65th birthday, when he turned age 65, the 70th birthday celebration included a 100 burpees workout at a local park.  While currently not at the top of his burpees game, he completed the 100 burpees with hands extended overhead clapping jumps in the time of 12:29. Here’s video proof of his effort:

 



Visit Pierini Fitness often to read his latest perspective about living and dying, gracefully aging and trying to live a good and honest life.  He’ll also continue sharing the details of his journey chasing upper-percentile and age-adjusted cardiovascular conditioning and strength endurance.  Finally, he’ll occasionally share some financial and political perspectives and wisdom. 

 

Until we meet next time, I’m Pierini Fitness #FITAT70 and blessed, and glad I was able to complete my 70th birthday 100 burpees workout.

Will soon be revealed and shared


Wow, how time flies when you’re spending a lot of time doing nothing activities as a retired guy and blogging isn’t one of them.  It’s been 344 days since my last blogflection on March 11, 2024.  I should be ashamed of myself and am, somewhat, given that Pierini Fitness has been in cyberspace existence almost seventeen years since August 28, 2008.


So, what have I been doing?  Glad you asked.

 

I continue with my fitness pursuits in my gracefully aging journey.  I have swapped blogging time for video-making time and have added a lot of content to my Pierini Fitness YouTube Channel.  If I wasn’t so lazy, I’d take those videos and leverage them here with some middle-aged man fitness training wisdom. 

 

But in my lethargic blogging absence, I’ve slowly come to the end of my middle-age manhood.  Years ago, I “announced” that once a person becomes age 70, they’re an old man.  My days of middle-aged manhood are slowly coming to an end.  The next time you read a new blogflection here, it will be penned by and old man named Pierini Fitness.

 

So, it’s time to make some changes with this time-tested blog. The banner currently reads as follows:

 

“Founded on August 28, 2008, Pierini Fitness is a middle-aged man's reflections about living and dying, gracefully aging, and trying my best to live a good and honest life. There's good middle-aged man diet, fitness and health stuff here too. Enjoy your visit here and savor the knowledge and wisdom. Tell a middle-aged man or woman friend to stop by for a visit. Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.”

 

It will soon change to read as follows:

 

“Founded on August 28, 2008, Pierini Fitness is now an old man who continues sharing his reflections about living and dying, gracefully aging, and trying my best to live a good and honest life.  Prior to turning age 70, he shared his reflections from a middle-aged man’s perspective.  Pierini Fitness has added content to now include occasionally financial and political perspectives.  Enjoy your visit here and savor his knowledge and wisdom.  Tell an older man or woman friend to stop by for a visit.  Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.”

 

The section titled WHO IS PIERINI FITNESS? currently reads as follows:

 

“I'm a 69-year young middle-aged man fitness dude. As founder and chief executive blogger of Pierini Fitness, I'm the ambassador of middle-aged men around the world, advocating their interests and expressing their views of the way life was, the way life is and the way life should be. I have my own thoughts and opinions about this and that, and they're not dependent upon whether or not you believe them. I express them periodically - and sometimes more - with a Pierini Fitness blogflection. I will personally and timely reply to all your comments and questions.

 

It will soon change to read as follows:

 

“I’m a 70-years young older man fitness guy.  As founder and chief executive blogger of Pierini Fitness, I share my opinions and wisdom about the way life was, the way life is, and the way life should be.  While most of my content since 2008 has focused on reflections about living and dying, gracefully aging and trying to live a good and honest life, I now occasionally share my financial and political thoughts.  I will personally and timely reply to all your comments and questions.”

 

Again, I apologize for my unexcused prolonged absence but stay tuned because my old man opinions and wisdom will soon be revealed and shared.

 

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum
