We always hear that it’s a good idea to keep fit as we get older because it’s good for you. Let’s take a look at what benefits there are in doing so and also some precautions to consider when looking into getting fit. Here are some important points to think about when getting and staying fit.
A youthful mind to go with that body!
Keeping fit not only helps your body but it maintains a healthy mind by prompting hand-eye coordination in workouts. It keeps your mind busy telling your body how to do the movements properly to get the most impact from each movement.
While exercise is essential, a change in diet/lifestyle will help improve the work you are putting in to see even better results. Please consider the assistance of a personal trainer who has experience with older clients and can tailor your workouts with your level of fitness in mind. A good trainer will not expect you to lift 100lbs or to jump 2 feet in the air if you have never done that before 50 years old. Low impact movements and maybe some aerobics will be the way to go.
There is so much to gain from small changes; working out 3 to 4 times a week there is literally nothing to lose but pounds. Getting and staying fit in the golden years may even add to your life expectancy so give it a try, perhaps we’ll see you at the next 5k!
Better mood and a better night’s sleep
Regular exercise make you happier as you gain those feel good endorphins that makes you look forward to working out. And after a good quality workout you will look forward to your comfy bed and you will sleep peacefully as you recuperate.
Love how you look and feel more confident
Once you have your workout routine going you will see your skin glowing more and your skin tightening as it tones. With building muscles you enjoy less sagging skin gaining a newfound confidence to show off the body you worked so hard on!
