Men struggle accepting that they are getting older and can not exercise like they use to in their 20’s. They need to adapt their routine and listen to their body if they can’t run as far or pick up all that weight. Bones get weaker when you get older and exercise could damage them or re-injury an old one. Their bodies can’t change over night to an increased exercise regimen. Their bodies also take a long time to heal after an injury so it is best to avoid one if possible.
Key Takeaways:
- Ease into new physical activities as you age because it can take longer for your body to adapt to new exercises.
- Pay attention to your body, especially to any sources of pain as they could be the result of injury.
- Be sure to include cardio and weight lifting, and to limit team sports with a lot of physical contact.
