One of the biggest challenges of midlife workout enthusiasts is the belief that they can still pursue the high-intensity training (HIT) methods they performed when they were their younger selves. However, those repetitive high-intensity training methods can do more damage than good — especially when it comes to joint health. As we age, our bodies are not designed to withstand the effects of these high-intensity workouts. At Loyalty Fitness, we understand the pain points (literally) of explosive workouts especially as you age. That’s why we’re championing our proven super slow weight training method. Let’s explore why this method is the saving grace for your joints!
The Midlife Workout Dilemma
When you’re in your 40s or 50s, your body likely cannot tolerate the explosive high-intensity training (HIT) sessions that it may have been able to when you were in your 20s and 30s. And if you’re in your 60s or older, your body may not be able to tolerate an exercise routine for the average 40 or 50 year old. By the time you reach midlife years- or maybe even earlier than that- your joints are begging for a break! That’s because explosive HIT workouts and aging joints are a bad combination since:
- Joints wear and tear faster with high-impact exercises.
- Risk of injuries and chronic pain increase when you perform HIT methods.
- Recovery time becomes longer as we age.
Rather than performing HIT routines, our super slow strength training method is a more appropriate and effective option for aging bodies and joints.
