FITNESS FOR THE 40 AND OVER CROWD Most women know why they should exercise after 40—keep disease at bay, reduce stress, increase strength and improve balance and mobility, not to mention helping you feel better all over—it’s the HOW that stumps you… • How Much • How Long • How Hard • How Often There’s really no one place you can go to get all the answers for your particular situation, especially if you’re over 40. It seems that if you’re past 35, the media seems to feel there’s no hope for you anyway, so why bother? Oh, how UNTRUE that is! 40’s and above are a great time of life, actually, I feel they’re better than before 40! I say live it to the fullest. This idea is only enhanced if you make it the “fittest” time of your life also.

In this article, you will learn by example. I’ve created a blueprint for you to follow that will help you to be your fittest, over 40 self. There are 2 Key Strategies that you need to follow to be sure that you are living as fit a life as you possibly can. 1. Move Mindfully Your body is meant to move. You weren’t created to live on a rock, you were created as a creature that could and must walk, run, jump…live! Every movement that you do throughout the day should be accounted for and enhanced. Don’t take for granted all the movement possibilities that can help you burn more calories throughout the day.
