Over 60? Energize Your Days With This Morning Workout
As you age, your hormone levels (such as testosterone and GH) and metabolism diminish, and you lose lean muscle mass.
My clients over 60 say that their energy levels have fallen dramatically since their 30s.
Active living and regular exercise are the best ways to combat these negative impacts, I advise my customers. It may seem paradoxical, but
exercise can boost energy. Why? Strength training builds and maintains muscular mass, your fountain of youth.
Hold two dumbbells in front of your hips while standing. With your chest up, back straight, and knees slightly bent, push your hips back and drag the weights down your thighs.
Stand with dumbbells at your shoulders. With your core tight, glutes compressed, and knees slightly bent, press the dumbbells up to the ceiling
Start the workout with two dumbbells at your sides and a staggered stance with one foot in front and one behind. Lower yourself controllably
Press your hand and knee against a bench parallel to it. Grab the dumbbell with the other hand and draw it up to your body with your elbow
Curl two dumbbells toward your chest with your hands up, flexing your biceps hard at the top. Hold tension as you descend until your arms are straight.
