Eat this not that offers exercise tips to increase strength and prolong life in women over 60.

Learn to use your muscles correctly

Using the right muscles and maintaining proper form during exercise is essential in building strength.

Using your muscles correctly ensures you are using the right muscles, reducing your risk of injury and increasing your workout effectiveness.

Learn basic functional strength training movements

Functional strength training is important for performing daily activities and tasks, which can improve your overall quality of life. You should try basic functional strength exercises such as squats, lunges, pull-ups, push-ups, etc.

Start slow

Start slowly, focusing on your muscles to get the most out of the movement. Listen to your body and gradually increase the intensity to progress each day.

Make sure to follow a consistent workout schedule

Strength train 3 times a week for 3 weeks to start seeing significant improvements in your range of motion, energy levels, and strength. Also, keep your workouts varied so you don’t overtrain the same muscle groups.

On days when you don't strength train, you can choose to walk, jog, bike or swim. This will keep your body flexible and ready for your next strength training session.
