3 Steps to Staying Fit Over 40

3 Steps to Staying Fit Over 40

Posted by onthegofitness Fitness programs

Staying fit over 40 is not an easy task. The body begins to slow down and the overall circulatory and regulatory processes deteriorate. Indeed, the physical exercise you have done till you turn 40 will largely determine how well your body can perform after 40. Also, at 40, you are nearing the top of your professional career growth and so, you might have little to exercise.

Still, maintaining a good exercise regime is very important and you need to understand how you can maintain your body. Doing this will also help you maintain a better body as your get to your 50s and beyond. This will help you stave off many health conditions including heart disease, stroke, hypertension, all kinds of cancers, diabetes and even depression.’

But all of this is only possible if you maintain the right exercise regime. Here are 5 steps to help you do just that.

3 Steps to Help You Maintain the Right Exercise Regime

1. Exercise Time

Determining how much time you need to exercise is important because it sets your requirements. Generally, you should exercise moderately and keep in mind any pre-existing conditions which could hamper your fitness goals. Ideally, you should exercise for about 150 minutes in 7 days. If you want to do heavy exercises, then you can cut the exercise duration down to 75 minutes per week. Getting a personal trainer is also a good way to achieve your fitness an health improvement goals.

2. Focus on Muscle Groups

Exercising to tone and condition muscle groups is as important at 40 as it is in your 20s. This will help you develop a good understanding of how your body is changing and how you can keep it fit. A personal trainer might also help you discover better ways to exercise than the internet or group classes. In fact, getting a personal trainer is often the first choice for many 40s professionals since they have little time left after their day jobs. Focus on individual muscle groups like legs, chest and back, shoulders, hips etc.

3. Application and Repetition

Application of your exercise routine is very important. This includes method and repetitive accuracy. It is quite common to lose focus on the right way to do an exercise in order to get it done. This can lead to problems including injuries and undetected trauma. You need to understand how you can maintain a proper form and shape during exercise and prevent any injuries. A personal trainer can help you exercise in the right way and ensure you do not pick an injury. They can also help you develop your workout plans to meet emerging physical problems.
