If youre over 40 you DONT need to exercise more: Expert says working out smartly not harder is key to health in middle age <\/p>\n
Exercising over the age of 40 sounds like a nightmare to some, but one man says its all about working smarter, not harder.<\/p>\n
Survivor Australia runner-up and retired cricketer Lee Carseldine, 41, has said that a healthy lifestyle is still achievable for people over 40.<\/p>\n
A healthy lifestyle actually isnt very hard to organise. People over 40 dont need to exercise more, they just need to exercise more smartly, Lee said.<\/p>\n
Short workouts are actually better for you as you get older, which means exercise is more tolerable and easier to do.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old, who is an ambassador for Striiv, a fitness tracking device, shared his tips on how to keep active and eat healthily.<\/p>\n
Exercise becomes boring and unsustainable when you dont change it up, according to Lee.<\/p>\n
Dont exercise the same routine more than twice in any week and mix it up with boxing, cardio, running and fun outdoor activities, he said.<\/p>\n
Mixing routines will also help keep a positive relationship with exercise.<\/p>\n
Although taking your children to the gym is not recommended, it is important that they engage in physical activity as well.<\/p>\n
We all know that kids imitate their parents and there is no better example to set them than seeing you exercise, Lee said.<\/p>\n
Take them to the park with you while you go for a walk, or work out on their play equipment while they play.<\/p>\n
Working your core is also crucial to keep flexibility and posture, something that will help in later life.<\/p>\n
While some of us are scared to venture into the weights section at the gym, Lee said strengthening your body can help reduce unnecessary damage.<\/p>\n
Weight training can help build bone density, helping with balance and this will lead to a reduction in the possibility of unnecessary falls at an older age, Lee explained.<\/p>\n
Your 40s dont mean the end to exercise and exercise and lifestyle changes shouldnt be a daunting task.<\/p>\n
Its never too late to start new routines and youll be surprised how much fun exercise can actually become, Lee said.<\/p>\n
