Over 40 And Want To Get In Shape? Part 1

Share

If you’re like me, staying in shape and adhering to sound nutritional principles does’t just happen, it takes discipline and focus.At the age of 44, it’s more important for me then ever before to maintain a high quality of life.

 

It takes theBIG 3?-structure,accountability andhelp. That all sounds great, but in reality many of us fail because we don’t have ourBIG 3in place.

 

With my own friends and family who are over 40, the timing to get in shape couldn’t be more critical.

 

In the next few posts I will be covering the basics on what you need to get in shape, and stay in shape if you’re over 40.

 

The first and most important step is to start in the right place.

 

But how or where do you do that?

Getting in shape isn't easy and the older you get the harder it is. With all the extra stress that goes along with the territory work stress, family stress, relationship stress it's just not beneficial to all of a sudden cram large amounts of training (physical stress) on top of what you’re already baring.

 

That's why many people get injured or get sick when they start a program that’s not set up specifically for them. Sometimes your trainer is probably half your age and has no idea what it's like to be in a forty-plus year old body. You need to take in all the factors on where you’re starting.

 

This should be the first step when you begin your training process

The body is designed to move.It's not designed to be still for five to six hours a day and move for one or two. It’s no surprise that your body doesn't move as well as you would like it to when that’s the routine you have been put into since started elementary school. And the older you get the more negative impact a stationary lifestyle has on your body.

 

Can you play golf pain free? Can you get down on the floor? Can you get up off the floor? Do you struggle to do house hold chores? This is all related to movement efficiency or inefficiency, depending on how you look at it.

 

A movement assessment that can pinpoint your weaknesses and allow a coach to design an appropriate program just for you, is how you should begin the process.

 

This allows you to train injury-free right from the start with no guesswork involved. Hopefully you can be the beacon of hope to someone if you notice their struggling with how to get on the right track with their health and fitness.

 

In Health,

Steve
