#1 Program to UNLOCK Your Tight Hip Flexors
===
By the time you've reached your forties, one of two things has likely happened: You've found a go-to fitness routine, or you've completely given up on your goals. Either way, it's time to shake things up, because this is the time when differences between the fit and unfit really start to show.
The decrease in muscle and bone mass that begins in your thirties and continues and gets worse if you don't exercise. Fat-burning muscle is critical to keeping your weight balanced. It will not only prevent you from going up a few dress sizes but also help you fight off serious stuff like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and cancer.
Even if it has been months or years since you worked out last, your muscle fibers can fall back on your past experience for support and can be ready to go in a short notice. And your heart and lungs need to stay healthy too and this routine can help with that!
One change you will begin to notice in your forties is that recovering from workouts takes a little longer. It's because your levels of hormones like estrogen and testosterone usually drop slightly during this decade and this drop can speed up the aging process if you allow it to, this isn't a good thing.
This video is EXACTLY What Women Over 40 Need when it comes to FITNESS. Coach Tonya gives you exactly what you need to do in order to stay healthy even if you don't feel like you did in college!

If you're a woman over 40, you know the challenges of training and exercising. You might have to deal with joint pain, scar tissue buildup, or other issues. But there's no need to be discouraged! This blog post has some great advice for getting in shape without stressing out your body even more!
It may seem like a great idea to jump right into the gym and try every workout under the sun. However, this can hurt your joints or even cause injuries that will bring your training progress to a screeching halt.
So, if you're a woman over 40 and just starting, then these tips will help get you started on the right foot.
Tip #1: Focus On Joints
Joints are often what hold us back from getting in shape. Now we can say there's no such thing as “too old” and that we should train until we die. But, for some people (especially women), their joints just aren't up to snuff anymore. They need to take it easy on them!
If your joints feel weak or creaky after a workout – even when using proper form – then it might be time to try something else. You could always add weight, but it never hurts to start lighter than usual and do more reps instead.
Tip #2: Focus On Rep Ranges
Rep range is another thing to consider when you're over 40 and training. If you've been doing the usual 3 sets of 10 reps, then it's time for a change! This can lead to burnout early on in your workout program because you don't have enough muscle mass yet.
The best thing to do is to focus on building strength so that you can push yourself towards growth later on. The best rep ranges for beginners are usually around 1-3 with heavier weights. That will give your muscles time to adjust before you start adding more weight or dropping back down into lower rep ranges again.
Tip #3: Try LOW-Intensity Cardio First
Low-intensity cardio is the perfect way to prepare your body for high-intensity routines later on. You can even do it every day if you want, but it's recommended that beginners only use low-intensity cardio 3 times a week.
Since these types of workouts are at such a low intensity, they don't give you much of a calorie burn. However, that's not the point! These small bursts of movement will help warm up your joints and keep them mobile while also giving you time to recover between intense weight lifting sessions. Eventually, you'll be ready to switch over to HIIT or other types of cardio after sticking with it long enough!
So if you're a woman over 40 and you want to get started on a new fitness program, then try these tips. They'll help you avoid injuries while also giving your body time to adjust to new movements. There's no need to rush into things! Always start lighter than usual and go from there.
Iβm 49 & I love going to the gym.
Iβm up at 5am 6 days a week to be at the gym for 6am to do the classes & weights. Then Iβve got the rest of the day to do my business. Health is wealth.
That’s awesome! Rock on!!
same here and there are waiting lists to get into some of the classes —-good to see people (even older folks) getting physically fit.
Great video! You lived in Canada? Cool…I am Canadian too.
Glad you liked it “eh!” ~ Coach Tonya
Thank you so much for sharing this video:) I myself will be turning 40 very soon.
We really appreciate you watching, stay tuned for more!
Iβm 53 and I go to the gym 6.30am as soon as I wake up and the gym opens. I do a power class once a week using really heavy weights. Then I do weights on my own 3-4 times a week followed by a yoga stretch down. I use cardio only as a 10 min warm up. I used to do the hours of cardio but I found that weight lifting is my thing and I get more out of breath and sweaty with weights than I ever did with cardio.
That’s awesome!
this is great!! please keep doing this or let me know if there’s another channel dedicated to this! thank you
