Achieving a toned and strong midsection is a common fitness goal, but for those over 50, it can seem particularly challenging.
As we age, our bodies undergo various changes, including a slower metabolism, reduced muscle mass, and hormonal shifts.
Understanding your body’s unique needs and limitations is the first step toward a successful fitness journey.
Strength training is crucial for building muscle mass and boosting metabolism.
Incorporating resistance training three to four times a week can help you build and maintain muscle, which is vital for a strong midsection.
While compound movements are essential, core-specific exercises are also necessary to target the abdominal muscles directly.
Perform these exercises 2-3 times a week, ensuring you give your muscles time to recover between sessions.
