Middle-aged male fitness taboo
1. Choose a way to make yourself comfortable: If you are a novice, you might as well join a junior fitness club. If you are used to high-intensity exercise, you'd better work out with your peers at the same level.
2. Find suitable fitness activities: Don't force yourself to do sports you don't like or sports that don't match your age.
3. Fitness is not just aerobic exercise: with the growth of age, human organs are aging. Therefore, aerobic cardiopulmonary exercise should be carried out for 30 minutes every day, but the strength, flexibility and balance should be appropriately increased.
4. Don't start training too soon: haste makes waste in fitness training. People who have not exercised for many years can start with the simplest walk after dinner. After getting into the habit, increase the amount of exercise. People in their forties should fully warm up no matter how experienced they are.
5. Diversified exercise: Doing the same exercise every day is easy to get bored and get hurt. Cross training is recommended, such as running and cycling, running and swimming.
6. Give priority to fitness without making excuses: Fitness should be treated like other important things in life. Once the fitness plan is made, it will be resolutely implemented, and it will never be delayed or stopped under the pretext of time, children or other things.
7. Don't underestimate yourself: Don't think that after 40 years old, your sports performance will inevitably plummet. The study found that between the ages of 50 and 75, athletes' performance only dropped by 3.4% every year. At the age of 80, you can still achieve high sports results.
8. Adjust the speed and interval training: Adding interval training of fast walking and slow walking in daily walking exercise will help to consume more calories in the body in a short time.
