| Fit after Forty with a Personal Trainer, Bethesda, Maryland |
Did you know a fit forty year old is physiologically younger than a sedentary 20 year old? Plus, the health benefits from staying in shape help you to age better.
It's never too late to get fit and get strong. Studies show that people in their 90s who started weight training saw significant improvements in their balance, strength and coordination. If a 90 year old can see a difference, imagine the changes you will notice!
Here are six ways you can keep yourself young:
1) Aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise strengthens your heart and lungs. It reduces your risk of obesity, diabetes and several other diseases. High-impact aerobic exercise also helps to build bone.
2) Balance work. Practice working on your balance and you will reduce your risk of falls and injuries.
3) Posture. Regular strength training exercise will improve your posture. Good posture can eliminate or decrease neck and back pain.
4) Strength training. Working with weights will decrease muscle loss and increase your bone density. It also helps to stop midlife weight gain and keeps you strong as you get older.
5) Flexibility. If you maintain a regular stretching routine, it will keep you agile for many years down the road. Flexibility increases your range of motion and can decrease back pain.
6) Core work. Your abs and back are like a strong column that links your upper and lower body together. A strong core will help you function in your day to day activities.
Worried that you are just a beginner and not fit enough to use a personal trainer? I will start you at whatever level you are at right now. As you get more fit, you and I will change your program so you continue to see progress.
We design your program together, so you are doing something you enjoy and getting the results you want!
