You have to keep going no matter what. Even if you had a 4 year gap in training.
Quick knowledge drop today. In today's film industry there's a lot of young people with incredible talent and ideas. The problem is I always hear the excuse "I don't have time for the gym." Well this is why when I show up to sets I set DP, Boom ops, and grips and gaffers who can't left their equipment without help. You have to find time to stay in shape and work out the muscles that will allow you to fulfill the obligations required for your job. Boom Ops need shoulders and core. DPs need arms and back. You want those shoulder rigs and big gigs then make sure your build to last. I'm not at all a fitness coach or influencer but it's embarrassing when the 42 year guy can out hold you when we have to hold the boom for 50 mins in one go or even worse an 8 minute monologue.
