Best way to get into shape

Getting in shape after 40 comes down to two main things: specific exercises and mindset.

My advice on the combination of activities that see the greatest success.

After easing into fitness, this is what those over 40 should aspire to do regularly:

  • Moderate aerobic activity for 60 minutes daily twice a week 
  • Muscle strengthening with all major muscle groups three days a week
  • Balance exercises two days a week at minimum
  • Setting your mindset toward success.
  • Go at your own pace in class
  • No High impact training
  • Wear good training shoes

In my experience, the best way to get in shape after 40 is to build a motivational platform anchored by the most valued relationships in your life like your spouse, partner, children.”

These relationships define your personal ‘why’ when it comes to the effort and sacrifices of living healthy, Remember, healthy living is a team sport.
