Grey hair, fine lines, wrinkles low energy levels are not the only signs of ageing, there are other body changes after the 40s that needs attention too. Particularly female bodies experience slow metabolism and less calorie burn resulting in stubborn belly fat. Thus for maintaining a healthy body you need some workouts to keep your body in shape. Here I have a few workouts that will help you stay active throughout the day and will sculpt your body.
The strength training
The best option for women in their 40s is strength training as you are now at higher risk of losing muscle. If you do not put enough stress on your muscles you are likely to grow a weaker muscle eventually.
Secondly, your lean muscle mass is the most active tissue metabolically so the more muscle you lose the slower your metabolism tends to get. Which cause you weight gain.
Try lifting weights that comply with your body weight. Lifting weights should not make you out of form. A total of 8 to 10 repetitions of weight lifting should be enough to boost your strength training and help generate more lean muscle mass. Try to undergo compound exercises as they will target multiple muscle groups simultaneously. It helps you gain strength and burn most calories keeping you in good shape. Squats, pull-ups, bent-over rows, deadlifts are a few of them for you to try.
Crunches
Doing crunches on a stability ball is the greatest way to lose that stubborn belly fat additionally, it helps you form a six-pack. Yeah, you heard it right it will help you begin a six-pack if performed three to four times a week.
Cardio
Cardio exercises include a recumbent bike, trade mill, elliptical machines and walking outdoors. Brisk walking for 30 minutes a day is perfect. Use a trade mill to walk the highest incline without handles at any level you can manage for about 10 minutes.
Doing these simple practices will surely keep you going and will keep your body in shape.
