BarkellWH -> RE: Guitar and Weight Lifting (Sep. 28 2014 16:03:39)

I do not lift weights, but for decades, since I was a young man, I have played squash on a regular basis. I still play squash in my dotage (three times a week with a regular partner), but age forces me to play "old man squash," i.e., I am much slower on the court, but I try to play smarter. I think that regular exercise enhances one's overall health and mental well-being. When I am on a consulting assignment overseas--for two, three, or four months--in a place that lacks squash courts, and I don't get the same regular exercise, I begin to feel I've lost my mental edge and have a sense of being less alert. I haven't measured the effect on my guitar-playing (such as it is), but I am sure that lack of exercise must have some negative effect, just as I am sure that regular exercise has a positive effect.
