The Last Week of February!
The Last Week of February! Two Months down or Eight Weeks since January first! How are your fitness goals going? Me Personally, I am 63 and proud of it! Just saying 😉 But I do know that my body can no longer handle the high impact workouts I used to do. I’ve switched my focus to a fitness routine that keeps me feeling STRONG, HEALTHY and youthful and helps ensure that I can keep up with the GREAT grandchildren!
Even if you had not been as active in the past, it’s never to late to pick up a dumbbell. Strength Training or Resistance Training Focus is one of the four components of fitness over 50, and at any age, so you stay strong and fabulous in your middle years.
As a fitness over 50 goal, building muscle strength is a must! Much of the weakness associated with these losses of independence is a result of reduced muscle mass. A combination of both the aging process and minimal physical activity can cause this. We obviously cannot control getting older. But by keeping our muscles strong we can hope to live a life that allows us to do the thing we want to do for much longer.
Those that train with us already know that strength training also helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis, which develop with a loss of bone mass.
“According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, Post-menopausal women can experience up to a 20 percent loss in bone density in the seven years after menopause due to significant reductions in estrogen. Weight-bearing exercise helps combat this. Strength training using one’s own body weight for resistance (for example, squats) helps prevent muscle mass from deteriorating and prevents some of the weakness that comes with aging. Free weights (barbells and dumbbells), weight machines and exercises such as planks and push-ups (that use body weight as resistance) are some examples of strength training to consider including in your routine two to three days a week.”
