Strength training
Strength training is especially important because we lose muscle mass as we age. Therefore, priority is given to lifting weights to help maintain strong muscle and bones. Prioritizing strength training also improves metabolism as calories are burned for up to 48 hours after weight training.
Muscle stretching
Always remember to stretch your muscles while exercising to help reduce your risk of injury. We lose some natural flexibility as we age. Therefore, stretching helps maintain flexibility, while also helping you continue to work at the optimal level.
Take advantage of holidays
Holidays are just as important as strength training days. If you do not let your body recover, this can withstand all the efforts you are put in to be healthy.
Consistency is important
To achieve results, towards regular training habits 4-5 times/week, instead of high intensity training. Consistency can help reduce injury, prevent exhaustion and establish long -term health support.
Do cardiovascular exercises
After age 40, low-impact cardio such as swimming, walking or cycling can protect joints while burning calories.
