Strength training
Strength training is one of the important factors to help improve your figure after age 55. Muscles not only support metabolism but also help shape the body, maintain strength and support daily activities.
A suitable workout program should include basic exercise groups such as squats, flexing, push-ups, and balance exercises. Each workout lasting about 30-45 minutes is enough to train effectively if performed correctly and with concentration.
Walk proactively every day
Walking is a simple habit but brings many benefits to people over 55 years old. This activity helps increase energy consumption, supports cardiovascular health, improves recovery and maintains flexibility of the hips, legs and lower back.
To increase exercise, you can add about 500 - 1,000 steps per day every 1-2 weeks. Over time, this small change will contribute to improving physical fitness and supporting weight control goals.
Add endurance training exercises
Besides strength training, cardiovascular fitness exercises also play an important role in maintaining figure and health after age 55.
Activities such as brisk walking, cycling, rowing, swimming, jogging, or weight-based fitness exercises can all help improve endurance. The goal is to create a sense of effective exercise but still comfortable enough to maintain for a long time.
