EXPERTS SAY WORKING OUT ‘SMARTLY’ NOT HARDER IS KEY TO HEALTH IN MIDDLE AGE
Exercising over the age of 40 sounds like a nightmare to some, but one man says it’s all about working smarter, not harder.
Survivor Australia runner-up and retired cricketer Lee Carseldine, 41, has said that a healthy lifestyle is still achievable for people over 40.
‘A healthy lifestyle actually isn’t very hard to organise. People over 40 don’t need to exercise more, they just need to exercise more smartly,’ Lee said.
‘Short workouts are actually better for you as you get older, which means exercise is more tolerable and easier to do.’
The 41-year-old, who is an ambassador for Striiv, a fitness tracking device, shared his tips on how to keep active and eat healthily.
Exercise becomes ‘boring and unsustainable’ when you don’t change it up, according to Lee.
‘Don’t exercise the same routine more than twice in any week and mix it up with boxing, cardio, running and fun outdoor activities,’ he said.
Mixing routines will also help keep a positive relationship with exercise.
