The #1 Weight Training Workout To Reverse Aging After 40, Trainer Says — Eat This Not That

Anti-aging is something that is of paramount importance to many people today. You can see advertisements everywhere about how to look younger through different types of medical procedures, face creams, or supplements. Although various cosmetic products and surgeries may work well for some people, the best way to reverse aging is to take care of yourself. This means eating a healthy diet, having a good skin care routinedrink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated, and working out on a regular basis. It’s natural, much more affordable, and a fun lifestyle you can easily get used to! We’ve created the #1 weight training reversal of aging over 40, and it’ll get you results in no time.

Let me first share my thoughts on what types of exercise to do. I recommend performing strength training over cardio exercises. My reasoning for this is that as you get past your 40s and beyond, lose lean muscle mass. Lean mass loss causes your metabolism to slow down, which affects how you look and feel. It has been said that muscle is the fountain of youth, and you should do everything you can to build and maintain it as soon as possible. Cardio is a healthy routine and has its time and place, but it should be more of an adjunct to your exercise regimen, especially if your goal is to gain muscle, lose fat, and keep your body looking and feeling young.

If you haven’t been doing strength training, now is the time to start, because it doesn’t get any easier as you get older. I recommend most people, especially beginners, to do full body exercises as they can target more muscle groups often and improve your fitness faster than regular body part splits. The strength training exercises you should focus on are mostly compound exercises, because they use more muscle groups.
