I think I have different goals than most others in here. I focus on mostly strength-to-weight ratio exercises--pullups, dips, various push-ups, incline sit-ups, leg lifts. I'm also heavy on the aerobics, alternating among an erg, a bike and the pool. My ruined knees won't allow any impact workouts.
I use machines a little, to target specific muscle groups, although I do have a weight belt and a weight vest that allows me to increase the difficulty of my exercises. Finally, I do a TON of stretching, both before and after I work out.
When I played football, I was really into free weights. However, carrying that much muscle just isn't useful for me anymore. I've been much more focused on being lean than being big; it's easier on my joints.
Yep, I'm officially old.
