TRAINING TACTICS FOR MOUNTAIN ATHLETES IN THEIR 40S, 50S, AND 60S

Dustin Diefenderfer & Ara Megerdichian Join the team from MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab for a presentation on training in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. Maintaining consistent fitness habits is the most important thing you can do to stay in shape and reduce injury. Your body may not bounce back like they used to, but it doesn’t mean you need to resign yourself to a lower level of performance. There is no reason you can’t be in the best shape of your life as you age, but it’s going to take a little more vigilance than it used to.
