Description

Have you noticed the workouts you were doing in your 20s and 30s that worked so well aren't working for you anymore? That it feels harder to stay in shape as you get older? In this episode, I talk about the best ways for people over 40 to build muscle and burn fat. We discuss the importance of consistency, rest, and nutrition, and my recommendations for exactly what kind of workouts you should be doing and how often you need to do them. We also talk about why it’s so important to eat high-protein meals and get adequate rest. Additionally, I give you specific pointers for increasing the intensity of your workouts gradually, not overtraining, and focusing on compound exercises to optimize results. Turns out… you may be doing just the wrong exercise for your age, so stay tuned! I walk you through exactly what you need to do to switch up your routine to build muscle and lose body fat more efficiently in your 40s, 50s, and beyond!
