Bill Maeda, a personal trainer in his 50s, emphasizes the importance of shorter, consistent workouts for long-term fitness, especially after his colon cancer recovery. He advocates for basic exercises such as deadlifts and squats, focusing on form over complexity. Maeda’s journey has taught him to prioritize health and enjoyment over mere physical appearance. His approach contrasts with the often intense, prolonged workouts typically associated with fitness, suggesting that effective routines can be simpler and still yield significant results as one ages.
"I wanted a strong frame. I wanted a powerful engine, but I spent so much time building this car, I forgot how to drive it. That's what I'm doing now."
"My raw horsepower is less than it was 10 or more years ago, but I don't care. The difference is now, I'm moving better, and it's fun."
