Easy Steps to Fitness Over 40
There's no doubt that organizations, medical professionals and people in all walks of life discuss fitness over 40. Middle-aged people may sound off about not being able to climb stairs any longer because of uncomfortable knees.
You may know someone who has been previously diagnosed with coronary disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, or raised blood pressure.
Reduce the risk of illness, lower stress, and improve overall health with fitness programs. Increased physical fitness will result in the muscle strength to support joints and lessen pain related to arthritis.
Sadly, 25% of the population in America are not physically active and 60% do not get the recommended amount of physical exercise. These statistics are gradually raising the number of people suffering from stress related diseases such as heart disease, stroke, elevated cholesterol, diabetes and raised blood pressure.
"Fitness over 40" programs don't always begin in the gym, however, and physical activity is only worthy when it raises your heart rate for at least 30 minutes. The options are endless because in just 30 minutes, you could jog or bike with your kids, exercise in front of the TV, jump on a trampoline or whatever.
If you are over 40, you need to think about the affect it will have on your current nutrition and habits as well as your ability to make the necessary changes.
It's a must to add more vegetables, fruit and whole grains to your meals if you're over 40 and want to stay fit. You may even benefit from a consultation with a dietician who can help you slowly ease into a healthier diet.
A way to improve your health immensely is to eat 5 - 7 servings of vegetables and fruit, drink 8 to 10 glasses of water as well as to lessen the amount of white flour consumed per day.
Exercise is essential but depends on the structure of diet, nutrition, and everyday habits to boost your health. Your fitness program can consist of cardiovascular and weight training.
Practicing cardiovascular routines can be applied to bicycling, running, walking, swimming, trampoline, exercise ball, or skipping rope. Mix the exercise up a bit and do it with friends because you'll have more fun and you'll stick with it longer.
If you do strength training, remember to skip a day before executing it again. As an example, if you train on Monday, you'll be able to do it again on Wednesday.
Either at home or at the gym, do your strength training at least 3 times a week. It will lessen your risk of osteoporosis, improve the support of your joints and give you a trimmer figure. - 17273
