The Secret to Keep You Fit Over 40
Fitness over 40? Impossible, you think? Well, think again. As you get older your metabolism slows down. A woman over 40 is faced with a decreased metabolic rate. This metabolic decline actually starts in her mid 30s. There are three prongs to fitness over 40. It is all about diet, exercise and massage chair therapy.
With the slowing down of the metabolic rate, there are feelings of less energy. A woman is fighting a battle. It does not have to be this way. If you can handle a little hard work and have a little determination, a woman can keep the figure that she once had not too long ago. Now, let us not think this just applies to women. Men, as well, can experience a little excess weight once they hit their 40s.
When you hit your 40s diet is one of the pillars of fitness. You are what you eat. Do you eat poor foods? You know, the ones high in calories and fats. Well guess where that goes in your body? Well, I known you know, I do not have to tell you. Eat a proper and balance diet. Eat less, but eat more often–try 5 smaller meals per day.
Fitness over 40 is achieved by eating several small meals a day that consistent of fruits and vegetables and protein. Protein should come in the form of nuts, lean meats, fish, and so on. You should stay away from saturated fats if at all possible.
Jump start your metabolism with exercise. First stretch your muscles. Warm up your body with some walking. You can do light exercise, but do it for 30 minutes. It can be a walk with your dog, but do it daily.
Look, the important thing is to do some basic, light aerobic exercises. Aerobic means heart and lungs. That means your heart rate increases and you have to breathe harder to increase the oxygen. Start a routine of going for a walk 4 times a week.
Massage therapy is the missing link between diet and exercise. The muscles get worked out but then need to undergo a healing process as they rebuild. Massage therapy helps to keep the muscles resilient while reducing excess toxin build ups. With exercise comes a burning of energy and that waste needs to get flushed out.
The glue to the triad is massage chair therapy. Massage chairs add the convenience of availability. In other words, they are easy to add to your routine. Just take a quick 10 minute recuperation break and feel your vitality improve.
Massage chairs have a variety of treatments in addition to massage therapy. You can find heating elements, stretching systems and even music players. You can apply heat to specific areas of your body to reduce swelling and increase blood flow. Increase your range of motion with a lower body stretch. Or run these in combination as you relax to soothing music.
Does fitness over 40 need to be all bad? Of course not! It is all about balance. Start a routine where it just isn’t all no pain, no gain. Massage chairs therapy is a great way to recover and bring out the best. Yes, you have to work harder, but why not also work hard on recovery. This is the way to balance your body and get it in peak performance.
The triad of diet, exercise and massage chair therapy is the secret to staying fit over 40. Eat healthy and often with smaller portions. Perform light exercise a minimum of 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes. Let your body recuperate with soothing massage chair therapy. Why not have it all after 40!
