Your body goes through a lot of changes as you get older. The loss of lean muscle mass and a slowed metabolism are two of the most difficult ones to accept.
Sarcopenia, the gradual loss of muscle mass after the age of 30, occurs at a rate of 3 to 8 percent per decade. As you age, your metabolism slows, so it's critical that you maintain as much physical activity as possible.
Lifting weights and doing strength training are essential components of any fitness regimen. In order to grow and maintain muscle, lifting weights is essential.
For the majority of your workouts, you should be engaging in complex motions that target several muscle groups, challenge you, and burn fat.
Kettlebell Deadlift
You'll begin by standing in front of the kettlebell, with your feet outside of the weight, for this exercise. Squat low enough to grab the kettlebell by pushing your hips back.
Feet Elevated Dumbbell Pushups
Place the dumbbells in front of you and place your feet on a stable platform to get ready for the following move. Lower yourself until your chest is only an inch or two over the ground while maintaining tight core, high hips, and an upright posture.
Lat Pulldowns
To begin, place your hands slightly outside your shoulders on the lat pulldown bar, palms facing away from you. Just a little lean back, and as you bring the bar down, squeeze the lats at the bottom of the motion.
Dumbbell Step-Ups
Grab a set of dumbbells and a bench or other stable surface to begin your Dumbbell Step-Ups. As you step up, push off the heel of your front leg while keeping your chest erect and your core taut.
Back Extensions
Position your thighs on the pad and your ankle on the bottom half of the machine for the final exercise. Bend at the knees as if you were doing a hinge.
