People of all ages can get and stay fit. If you are committed and form a consistent habit around physical activity, then you will see results.

Here are a few tips to get and stay fit at any age:

1. SET REALISTIC GOALS

If you’re starting a new workout routine, make sure you take some time to set some goals. As you set these goals, make sure that you start small and be realistic about what you’re hoping to achieve. If you aim too high, you might wind up discouraged early on in the process and give up altogether.

2. PRACTICE GOOD TECHNIQUE

When you’re new to a workout routine, the movements might also be new to you. Take time to learn proper technique before you start loading up with weight. If you can’t make it through a set without compromising your form, then it’s a good idea to decrease your weight or find a suitable modification. Working with a coach or personal trainer can help with learning and maintaining proper form.

3. VARY YOUR WORKOUT INTENSITY

It’s easy to think that all workouts have to be very intense so that you can make progress. However, only doing high-intensity training can lead to overtraining, lack of motivation, or injury. Instead, make sure you vary your workout intensities to include low, moderate, and high-intensity training.

4. PRIORITIZE RECOVERY TIME

Recovery is frequently overlooked in a workout program. However, it can contribute to your results and achievement of goals just as much as a workout. Good recovery consists of healthy good, proper hydration, quality sleep, mobility work, and rest days. Making an effort to recover will keep you well-fueled, rested, and moving well in between your workouts.
