Fitness Success for 40 & Over….
Stop Complaining……Start Training
People over 40…… It’s never too late to get into shape !!!! It takes a plan of action (know your steps before you take one).
Hire a trainer to get started: Take 4-8 weeks to learn and implement the exercises properly.
Note: You are working on buiding strength from the inside out: Strong Tendons, Ligaments, Smaller Muscle Fibers. When they become stronger you promote Strong exterior Muscles and Less injuries long term. Warm-up 5-10 minutes before exerting your muscles.
After you have mastered learning the proper uses of machines and which muscles each works….
Focus on your form: Concentrate all of your energy on contracting and stretching only the muscle that you are preforming.
Keep your body centered and remember to keep your knees softly bent while preforming Standing exercises.
1..Put 100% full Focus & Concentration into every workout.
2..Alternate Heavy & light weight training days.
3..Change up the sequence of exercises & weights/machines.
4..Adding Repetitions & Weight/ Lighter Repetitions & weight will cause muscle confusion and change.
5..Believe in yourself and others….Get a Partner to keep you progressing in your goals long term.
6..Make Training goals and change apart of your lifesyle.
