Maintaining fitness after 40 involves a combination of strength training, cardio, and flexibility exercises. Focus on weight lifting to build muscle, as muscle mass naturally declines with age. Try activities like cycling or swimming for low-impact cardio. Stretching and yoga are essential to improve flexibility and prevent injuries. Consistency is key, so aim for at least 3-4 days a week of exercise. Also, prioritize recovery by getting enough sleep and managing stress. Nutrition plays a big role as well, so ensure you’re eating enough protein and healthy fats to fuel your body.
