As a spritely young woman, the types of exercise and activity we pursue are chosen simply because we enjoy them or because they push our bodies to new limits. One question that I get asked A LOT nowadays is, “What are the best exercises for over 50s”? This is something that takes a bit more consideration for us than it did a few (or a lot) years ago.
The Best Exercises For Women Over 50
Over the last few years, I’ve looked at myself and thought, “Is this even me”? There have been times in my training schedules when I have felt weak and flabby, and my body doesn’t look, feel, or behave the way it did a year before. It’s like an out-of-body experience! I’m sure many of you can relate.
As our body is changing, we need to support it by choosing appropriate exercises for our level of strength and fitness and beneficial to our aging process: to build strength in our muscles and bones, and support heart health. The best exercises for those over 50 are very different from those for those over 20s or even over 30.
So, what exercises should you be doing? Is Yoga better than Pilates? Are weights as scary as they sound? How do you create a routine that you will actually stick to?
In today’s episode, I will answer all of these questions and more as I talk about the best way to build strength, boost your metabolism, and devise a workout plan that covers all the important bases without leaving you exhausted, deflated, or dreading your next session!
