Just because the calendar says 40+ doesn’t mean your fitness goals slow down. In fact, getting (and staying) in shape after 40 is all about training smarter, not harder. Here are a few key tips to help you feel strong, energized, and confident this summer:
1. Prioritize Strength Training
Muscle naturally declines with age, but resistance training is the ultimate antidote. Two to three sessions a week can help build lean muscle, support metabolism, and keep joints healthy.
2. Don’t Skip Mobility Work
Flexibility and joint health are crucial. Incorporate dynamic warm-ups, foam rolling, and stretching to stay limber and avoid injury.
3. Focus on Recovery
You’re not 20 anymore (and that’s a good thing). Recovery days, proper sleep, and staying hydrated are just as important as your workouts.
4. Dial in Your Nutrition
Balance is key. Think high-quality protein, plenty of colorful veggies, and smart carbs. Our team at Fit Republic Meal Prep has delicious options ready to fuel your goals without the guesswork.
5. Be Consistent, Not Perfect
Fitness at 40+ is a marathon, not a sprint. Show up, do your best, and celebrate the small wins. They add up—fast.
