Daily Simple Exercises for Women Above 40

Exercises are very important to keep the body working in a perfect condition. Lack of exercise can lead to lots of body malfunctions such as neck pains, kneel disorder, back and even waste pains. In addition, ladies above 40 are more prone to body disorderliness when they lack exercise. According to Ken Fox, Professor of Exercise and Health Science at Bristol University, it is in the mid-40s when muscle mass begins to decrease and fat deposits begin to build up. This can lead to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, stroke, and some forms of cancer. However, not all exercises are fit for women within this stage and it will be nice for you to know the several exercises you can do every day to reduce those risks at this stage and still keep fit.

1. BURPEES: High-intensity cardio stimulates the metabolism, at this stage, it is more than necessary to motivate and stimulate them. So to prevent metabolism deceleration we should do this exercise once or twice per week. Start with one set of 3 reps and add another repetition each time. Don’t stress yourself too much. In summary, when you are above 40, do not let your metabolism slow down.
   

2. SQUATING: Every lady wants to have a round backside and a nice curve with good butt. However, even the luckiest ones who had it naturally without any training will start to lose it after the age of 40 thanks to the decrease of muscle mass. Properly done squats (with a straight back and knees right above the feet) can tone your whole body and prevent injury by improving your flexibility.
   

3. PLANKING:Doing this exercise for 90 seconds 3 times a week is a great way to tone all the core muscles of our bodies. It strengthens our abs, the muscles of the chest, and the ones surrounding the spine. Our entire midsection tightens and supports our lower back.
   

4. Y-TO-T RAISES: Sarcopenia is a degenerative loss of skeletal muscle associated with aging. If you’d like to prevent bad posture, back and shoulder aches, it is very important to strengthen the muscles of your back and shoulders with the Y-TO-T RAISES exercise so as to prevent Sarcopenia
   

5. DUMBBELLS: Chronic joint pain can attack adults of all ages, so it’s never too soon to start preventing it and one of the best ways to do it is strength training. You don’t have to spend hours lifting big weights. Doing deadlifts or overhead presses with 1-3 kg in each hand 2-3 times a week can do miracles for your body.
   

6. GLUTE BRIDGE: Sitting all day in an office can deactivate our glutes which slows down the rate at which our body burns calories. The hip extension in the glute bridge exercise makes the butt work and it can also open up any tightness from long days of sitting. Leave your arms along your sides, squeeze your butt muscles to lift your hips up, and squeeze them once more at the top, then slowly lower your hips back down.
   

7. WALK: Walking is one of the simplest and best exercise that anyone can do. While it burns calories, tones our body, and improves our mood, it also doesn’t wear down our fragile joints, which is very important after a certain age.!
   

8. Relax with YOGA: Middle-aged women are more prone to becoming depressed, according to John Hopkins Medicine, one of the leading healthcare systems in the United States. Yoga increases a mood-regulating neurotransmitter, which is necessary to fight depression. It also decreases stress and anxiety levels.
