Toned, lean and healthy over 50? Here’s how

A toned midsection has been the ultimate sign of a fitness plan that’s been working for years. Let’s determine if your current routine is getting you closer to the body you want.

1.  How many times per week do you exercise? 

Four or more fat-burning workouts that incorporate intervals of (age appropriate) cardiovascular training with challenging (not delirious) resistance training will get you closest to your goal.

The best fat-burning exercises work your major muscle groups against resistance in a way that is challenging, stimulates your metabolism and mimics daily living activities.

2.  Do you eat clean?

Diet is the number one reason that most people carry extra fat around their midsection. Slim down, by trimming the junk out of your diet, regardless of how hard you exercise.

• Don’t eat too much. Do you know approximately how many calories you eat each day? Pay attention and feel free to recruit us to help with this part. Together we’ll come up with improvements for your diet and adjust your calories for maximum results.

• Cut out the junk. Update your definition of “junk food”. Start with anything that contains sugar and the processed fat monster.

• Eat when hungry.  Instead of trying to schedule what you’re eating, go with how your body feels.
