12 FITNESS EXPERT TIPS if you're over 50

12 FITNESS EXPERT TIPS OVER 50

1. Resistance training burns fat. Think it’s all about cardio? ... Wrong.
2. The gluteus maximus (aka, your butt) is the largest muscle in the body.  Keep it strong!
3. Exercise is the miracle drug. It’s good for your bones, muscles, balance, heart, mental health and sleep.
4. Invest at least 15 minutes a day of strength training and movement, even when traveling.  This will keep you on track! 
5. Positive, active people are 50 percent less likely to have heart disease, a heart attack, or a stroke. – Wellness consultant Dianne McCaughey, Ph.D.
6. “You don’t HAVE to be 64 years old. You GET to be 64 years young.” – Trainer Nate Wilkins
7. Any physical movement lowers the risk of dementia. – Neurology
8. Just being outdoors, especially in green spaces, quickly improves our health and happiness. – The International Journal of Environmental Health Research
9. Weightlifting has a greater effect than running, walking or cycling on lowering the risk of heart disease, according to the British Telegraph.
10. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is good for everyone "and has even bigger benefits for older adults." – The Mayo Clinic
11. One-third of people over 50 exercise regularly. (Most, therefore, do not.)
12. Keep accountable to yourself by scheduling your fitness.  Either with yourself, or with a Trainer.  This helps keep you on track and you're less likely to miss a day.
