30 day fat burning workout

 

I get bored pretty easily in workouts when there isn’t variety and challenges. This program will provide both. Don’t put away your walking shoes just yet, because there is walking and even light jogging or cycling.

It is important to change up your activity and exercises routinely to continue to challenge your muscles. While this program does reference weights, you don’t have to use any. I do recommend using weights for multiple better health reasons.

Additionally, the other part of successfully losing weight after 40 is nutrition. We used to be able to say, I workout so I can eat whatever I want. We now know after 40 that isn’t true at all. I recommend tracking calories, but even more important is tracking macros. Not all calories are the same and if you are only counting calories you could be missing the boat on weight loss.

We tend to talk a lot about nutrition and working out for weight loss, but those good habits will need to continue on even after you reach your goal weight. Living a healthy lifestyle is continued healthy nutrition and exercise. You will feel the differences after a few months and all of the healthy habits will begin to have a wonderful domino effect on your life. Forty will have never felt so great!

Remember to start with a proper warm up as well as ending with a nice relaxing stretch focusing on the muscles used.
