The body responds best at this stage when you combine short but effective exercises, along with the habit of supporting muscle development outside the gym. With these strategies, you can absolutely maintain and continue to build sustainable strength after the age of 40.
Consistent priority
Just spend 10 minutes exercising every day, regularly most days of the week, you will achieve much better results than long sessions that are left unused.
Focus on techniques
Performing movements in a standard and well-controlled form will help you develop muscles more effectively, while protecting joints from injury.
Reasonable progress
Only increase the weight, reps, or stress time if you have maintained a firm posture and accurate technique throughout the exercise.
