描述

If you want to become fit over 50, there’s never a better time to start than today. When we create new habits that enhance our health, we boost our potential to age in a way that allows us to stay active.

Even if you already work out regularly, it’s essential to know how your training should evolve once you’re over fifty. As our bodies begin to change, we should adapt the way we fuel and use it to enable a better quality of life in our later years.

You can build muscle at any age, but it’s probably the most important way to get fit over fifty. Simply put, some form of strength and resistance training is essential as we age because stronger muscles means stronger bones and fewer injuries. For some people over fifty, strength training results in rebuilding some of the natural muscles they had in their younger years and ensuring they stay toned and firm.

As our agile flexibility decreases with age, it can be easy to resign ourselves to thinking that we’ll never regain it. However, maintaining our flexibility through to old age is vital to ensuring we get the most out of our later life. Maintaining flexibility after fifty is important as it helps decrease the risk of injuries such as fractures and muscle strains. It also improves your posture and your ability to perform daily tasks.
