How should a 40-year-old man exercise?

Many male friends will gradually gain weight and lose their body shape when they are in their thirties or forties, especially when they are over 40. Their muscles will gradually decrease, and they will gradually develop a beer belly, which looks very ugly. They will start to have the body shape of middle-aged men. Many people want to lose weight and keep fit, so how should men in their 40s keep fit?

At this age, gaining weight is something that many men do not want to see. The body shape of men between 30 and 40 years old generally begins to change: the outer skin fat thickens, and the fat in the waist and abdomen begins to accumulate. "Men of this age must strengthen aerobic exercise to achieve a better fat-reducing effect. Jogging, mountain climbing, swimming, etc. are all good choices, and aerobic exercise can also exercise a person's cardiopulmonary function and keep it in a relatively good state."

It should be noted that aerobic exercise generally starts to burn fat after 30 minutes, so each exercise time should not be less than 40 minutes. Aerobic exercise is generally a whole-body exercise, while equipment is used to train a certain part of the body and a certain muscle group, so the equipment plan should be arranged according to the physical condition. For example, men with narrow shoulders can train their shoulder muscles more.

Men over 40 years old have less calcium in their bones. One of the most common problems in fitness is that they are prone to sports injuries, especially fractures. Therefore, fitness exercises for this age group must strengthen protection, especially for the knees, ankles and other parts that are easily injured. When you first start exercising, you must learn to master the appropriate exercise intensity, especially those who are overweight because the joints are under too much pressure, so they should pay more attention to protection.

Older men, especially those over 40, must pay attention to the intensity of exercise when exercising. It is best to choose a fitness coach to teach you, so that you will not have excessive muscle strain and lumbar muscle fatigue during exercise, so as to avoid hurting the body without gaining the gain.
