Follow on Google News | Naperville Personal shares his Top 3 Fitness Tips for Baby BoomersJeremy Glasgow is a local Warrenville - Naperville personal trainer and fitness boot camp instructor. Today he shares his Top 3 Fitness Tips for Baby Boomers.
The good news is that there are more time-efficient training protocols that middle-aged men and women can immediately implement to reverse this trend. 1.) Pull Back Your Posture: We live in a sedentary society that spends most of the day seated and hunched over at a desk. Plus, as people age they tend to start rounding their shoulders even more appearing “hunchbacked.” 2.) Get off the Treadmill: Too many baby boomers jump on the treadmill or elliptical and go for 30-60+ minutes at a time wondering why they can’t get any results. A recent study proved that 45 hours of aerobics had zero weight loss effect over dieting alone. Ditch the long, slow, and boring cardiovascular and opt for high-intensity interval training, where you alternate between bouts of maximum effort and active recovery. Interval workouts are scientifically proven to burn nine times more body fat than ordinary exercise and can be completed in 20-minutes or less. Plus, you can save your joints by doing intervals on a bike or even while running in place in the comfort of your own home. 3.) Sit-ups are for Suckers: New research has uncovered that old school abdominal exercises like crunches and sit-ups are not only useless for burning belly fat (spot reduction doesn’t work) but can hurt your neck and back. These exercises are particularly dangerous for people over 40 years old. The 21st century approach to core training focuses on dynamic and static stabilization exercises that emphasize maintaining a neutral spine position rather than traditional lumbar flexion exercises of the past. So upgrade your abdominal work and flatten your midsection with total body core stability exercises like push-ups, bridges, and pillars to improve posture, prevent injury, and elevate metabolism.
