Working out at 35
In 2019, I was in the best shape of my life. Then the pandemic happened and everything changed. But then things opened up again… and I didn’t move. I gained 30 pounds over the last 5 years and in March, I decided I was done making excuses. I’m down 5lbs and staying in calorie deficit. Now I’m working out everyday. Yoga on my rest days. Let’s get healthy together
At 35, many individuals find that their bodies change, making it important to adapt fitness routines accordingly. Engaging in a balanced mix of aerobic exercises, strength training, and flexibility workouts can help counteract weight gain and improve overall health. It's key to maintain a calorie deficit for weight loss, which involves consuming fewer calories than you burn. Incorporating enjoyable activities like outdoor running can significantly boost motivation. Studies suggest that regular exercise, even moderate, can elevate mood and energy levels, making it easier to stay consistent. Don't forget the mental health benefits! Practices such as yoga can enhance relaxation and recovery on rest days, helping you achieve a more balanced lifestyle. As you embark on your fitness journey, consider tracking your progress to stay accountable. Apps and fitness trackers can help monitor daily steps, calorie intake, and activity levels. Remember, the most important aspect of fitness is finding what works for you and allows you to stay engaged. Surround yourself with support, whether from friends, workout partners, or online communities. Let's embrace the journey to a healthier lifestyle together!
