I remember my younger days when I’d hit the gym, lift some weights, and feel like a superhero.
It seemed so easy back then. But then, 35 happened.
Suddenly, the same routines didn’t work their magic anymore.
Can you relate?
Here’s the deal. Your body changes as you age. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just… different.
That means your workout routine needs to change too. It’s all about adapting, my friend. Let’s take a closer look.
First things first, it’s NOT about working out harder.
It’s about working out smarter.
Your 20-year-old self could hit the gym every day, but your 35+ self needs more recovery time.
Don’t fight it. Embrace it.
Recovery is when the magic happens.
Next up: intensity.
Remember those high-intensity, sweat-drenched workouts?
You might need to dial it down a notch.
Your joints will thank you.
And guess what?
Low-intensity, steady-state cardio has its perks.
It’s easy on your body and great for burning fat. Win-win!
Now, let’s talk strength training.
As you age, maintaining muscle mass is crucial.
But here’s the catch – you don’t need to lift heavy.
In fact, lifting lighter weights for more reps can be just as effective.
Plus, it’s kinder on your joints.
Finally, don’t forget flexibility and balance.
These often get overlooked, but trust me, they’re important.
Ever tried to tie your shoes and felt a pull in your back?
Or stumbled when you missed a step?
Yep, that’s where flexibility and balance come in. Yoga, Pilates, tai chi – they’re all fantastic options to keep you nimble and steady on your feet.
Alright, I can see you thinking. “This is all great, but where do I start?” Glad you asked!

It’s all about adapting your workout routine to match your body’s evolving needs.
