Ladies – You’re in your 50s and feeling your age, so you want to get active and stay strong, but you don’t have the energy to test out tons of workout programs to find the right one for you. Don’t worry – you can still have an exciting active future and stay strong without the guesswork.
Start by taking it slow and finding something you enjoy. One of the best ways to stay committed to a workout regimen is to make sure you like the activities you’re doing. If you enjoy dancing, sign up for a class at a local studio. If you’re more of a nature lover, go for a hike or a bike ride. Whatever activity you choose, make sure it’s something you can do regularly.
Next, focus on strength training. It’s never too late to begin strength training, and it’s the best way to stay strong and protect your bones and joints. Aim for three days of strength training each week. I know that can seem like a lot at first, but with proper guidance and technique, it will quickly become the most effective way for you to get back to feeling like your strong, confident self.

Another great way to stay strong is to stay hydrated. Keeping your body hydrated helps your muscles stay strong and energized. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, and opt for water instead of sugary drinks.
Finally, don’t forget to get enough rest. Rest is essential for muscle recovery, so make sure you give your body the time it needs to rest and recover. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep each night, and take a few rest days each week.
You don’t have to test out tons of workout programs to stay strong in your 50s. Just choose activities you enjoy, incorporate a few strength training workouts into your routine each week, stay hydrated, and get enough rest. With these simple steps, you can have an exciting active future without all the hassle.
