Anti Aging Fitness

Having a good anti aging fitness routine will help you stay young looking, and feeling, in many different ways. First of all, it will help give you energy as well as good muscle tone. Exercising will help you avoid weight gain - something that can add years to your age. Finally, if you keep your muscles in good condition, you are less likely to twist a muscle or become injured by falling because your coordination and balance will be better.

As you get older, your muscles lose strength and get less flexible. It takes more to keep at the same level of fitness. That combined with the fact that many people simply stop exercising as they get older is a big reason that we lose our strength, flexibility and range of motion.

Luckily, you don’t have to workout like an athlete in order to be fit. Just a simple routine that you can follow and stick with should do the trick. The key is to be consistent and keep to your exercise regimen no matter what else is going on in your life. It will benefit you more than you know as you age.

Even if you haven’t exercised in years, you can improve your muscle tone and flexibility with a simple anti aging fitness routine that includes some cardio, stretching and a little bit of weight training. Not only will this help you lose those extra pounds, but studies show that a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise can help your DNA stay younger.

Cardio exercise can be anything that you enjoy that gets your heart rate up - walking, swimming, tennis, cycling, running - whatever you feel you can do for at least 30 minutes 4 or 5 days out of the week. If you get bored easily, mix it up doing tennis one day, swimming the next and walking on another day.

Another thing you want to be sure to do is some weight training. This is important for maintaining your strength as you age. Twice a week for 20 minutes is enough and you don’t have to train for the Olympics. Even 5 pound weights will do the trick, but try to work all your muscle groups. As an added benefit, the more muscle you have the faster your metabolism will be so you will burn more calories even at rest.

Stretching is also important and can help you keep your flexibility so you can still tie your own shoes even when you are 86! It will also help with your balance which is often a problem in older people. Yoga can be a great way to get in some stretching as can pilates.

Sticking with an anti aging fitness routine no matter what your age will have many more benefits than just big muscles. The cardio exercises will also be exercising your heart, thus lowering your risk for heart disease. You’ll also be increasing blood flow which can help keep your brain sharp. Regular exercise is also helps reduce the risk of diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s and stroke. Plus, it will make you feel great and give you tons of energy and a youthful, vibrant appeal!
