The best exercises for men and women over 30
There are specific exercises for middle-aged people that boost metabolism and keep the body active. In addition, your aging process will be slowed down and you will feel much fitter and healthier. The seven best exercises for people over 30 are explained in more detail below.
1. Muscle exercises with dumbbells (dumbbells)
These exercises will help you reduce your weight and improve your posture. These exercises also slow down the aging process and prevent back and shoulder problems. Try it! You will feel the positive change.
2. Pilates
Pilates exercises are controlled movements that help you increase and improve the body's endurance, core strength, and flexibility. The basic form of the exercises is similar to normal yoga exercises. Every gym offers yoga or Pilates classes that you can use to increase your physical fitness.
The main problem for adults is mild to severe back pain. These can have many causes. The most common cause of this is your office job when you sit incorrectly at your workplace or have poor posture in general. Pilates exercises primarily strengthen the core and back muscles and can prevent back problems. Give it a try for the sake of your back. He will thank you.
3. Yoga exercises
Yoga is one of those sports that you can do at any time, no matter how old you are. The exercises help you stay physically and mentally fit and healthy. Yoga has various exercises for all age groups that can help you maintain your youthful freshness and reduce the aging process. Not only does it increase your physical fitness and flexibility, but it also boosts your mental health.
Yoga is a very flexible sport that combines physical and meditative exercises. The exercises are perfect for relieving stress when you get home after a long day at the office. In this way, you will learn to channel the stress and relax again.
4. Planks and leg training (squats)
Planks and leg training (in the form of squats) are exercises that are especially recommended for people over 30. By doing squats you effectively train your buttocks and upper leg muscles. You can also do calf exercises by simply standing on a staircase or other high point with the balls of your feet and walking up and down. Over time, you can perform these leg exercises with additional weight for an even more effective workout.
Planks are performed on the floor and primarily strengthen the core muscles. You lie on the floor and support yourself on your arms and the tips of your feet and hold this position. Gradually increase the time to provide muscle stimulation.
5. Go for walks regularly
Walking in nature is one of the easiest physical activities you can incorporate into your everyday life. It not only keeps you fit and healthy but also boosts your mood after a stressful and tiring day at work.
Even this small sporting activity while walking burns some calories. You will also replenish your vitamin D budget because you are out in the fresh air and can enjoy the sun. Of course, walks are not very intense. The main reason here is to reduce stress. If you want to make your walks more strenuous and challenging, then you should start with “Nordic Walking”.
6. Go for a run (cardio)
Jogging is one of the best exercises as you age to keep yourself and your body fit. It not only promotes your physical fitness but also stimulates your metabolism and improves your lung volume and cardiovascular system.
You can do cardio sessions flexibly: running sessions on the treadmill in the gym or at home; jogging in the great outdoors; cardio sessions on the rowing machine; stepper in the gym; etc. As you can see, there are many different running exercises you can do for your physical fitness. You can always adapt the exercises to your current fitness level and increase them slowly if you want.
7. Intense strength exercises
However, you should only increase the weight slowly when training. So adjust the maximum weight every two weeks to provide new muscle stimuli and sustainably strengthen the muscles. If the weight is too heavy, the risk of injury increases and, in the worst case, you could tear a muscle.
Conclusion
Sport becomes more and more important as we get older! The exercises mentioned above will keep you physically fit and also improve your health and well-being. Of course, you don't have to do all the exercises. Choose something completely personal to you!
You must find a sporting activity that you enjoy, that allows you to switch off and that keeps you physically and mentally fit at the same time. This is the only way you will “stick with it” over the long term. To get started, you can incorporate a few exercises into your everyday life if you haven't already done so. And then look further. You will only notice benefits!
