Post Workout Cool Downs For Men Over 40

If you're like me (55, active, and I workout like a 30 year old) then you are SORE after working out. I over do it, I know, but I can't help it. Lately, I've been trying my best to cool down after every session. Man it really helps. Post workout cool downs for men over 40 is an absolutely necessity! Wish i knew better 15 years ago, sheesh!! Post Workout Cool Downs For Men Over 40 So, Picture this: You just stepped off the gym floor after a solid strength training session. You're feeling good, but what's your first move? Heading straight to the showers? If you don't take a few minutes to cool down, you're selling all that hard work short—especially if you're over 40. Guys, we lose muscle as we get older. Taking care of our bodies with training, then adding proper post-exercise cool downs can effectively help us maintain that muscle, and even grow more. A cool down gives the body a chance to leave the heart-pounding hyper-awareness state of thrusting heavy weight, sprinting, jumping, pushing and pulling and return to a homeostasis that allows us to carry on with the rest of our day productively. Great thing is that it doesn’t take a lot of time—maybe five to 10 minutes post-workout or physical activity, tops. Here is a three-step cool down process that every man over 40 needs to do after a workout to ensure that he's still feeling good afterward—and to help maximize the benefits of your training.

How to Cool Down From a Tough Workout

First you need to do a short stretching routine. The human body does seven primary movements: It bends, extends, rotates right and left, stands on one foot then the other and it squats.

The Cool Down Movements

Do each of those for a 10- to 15-second hold. Do one or two sets of each. ●Flex Forward Stand, arms hanging by your sides. Push your butt back and lower your torso, bending forward at the hips and touching your toes (or lowering as far as you can). Hold for 5 seconds. Return to the starting position. ●Extend Backward Stand with your arms above your head. Bend as far backward as possible while keeping your feet planted. Return to the starting position. ●Rotate Left and Right Stand with your feet together, toes pointing forward, arms hanging by your sides. Turn your body to the left as far as possible while keeping your toes facing forward. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side. ●Balance on Each Foot Stand tall with both feet together. Lift your left leg until your knee forms a 90-degree angle and your thigh is parallel to the ground. Hold that position for 10 seconds, keeping your hips and shoulders square to the front. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side. ●Squat Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms held in front of you. Keeping your abs tight, push your butt back and bend your knees, allowing your torso to descend. Lower as far as you can. Return to the starting position. Here are examples fromnobullfit's demo on Instagram.... View this post on Instagram A post shared by Coach Milo (@nobullfit) Post Workout Cool Downs For Men Over 40 Then immediately after the last stretch, you should start munching on a piece of fruit: kiwi, apple, plum, pear or grapefruit are great choices. Do this because you’ve just spent time tossing around weight and depleting your muscles’ energy stores. The fruit helps them bounce back. Finally, within the next 30 minutes to an hour, get in about 30 grams of good protein. Follow these three steps and you’ll not only bolster today’s workout, but you’ll be ready to attack tomorrow’s workout as well! Best Coach Cues for Cool Down Stretches ● Keep the legs as straight as possible when you bend over. You don’t have to touch your toes. Just go as far as possible with straight legs. ● Keep the feet flat on the ground during the rotation and during the single-leg stance. ● Don’t wait! Eat the fruit immediately after finishing the cool down. Helpful Tip for a Better Cool Down Process Try to eat real proteins. Don’t substitute a smoothie. There’s not a protein smoothie made that gives you better proteins than beef, chicken, salmon and eggs, or, for the vegetarians and vegans, quinoa, and amaranth Read the full article

Just by chance I found a Calisthenics gym a stone throw away from me. Although small it has most of the bars I could want as well as accessories like the heavy Iron chains you see me donning. I’ve probably well over estimated the weight of the chains. Video 1: I’m testing my strength after my bout with Covid and felt it wasn’t quite as strong as I wanted. My pre-meal was also nine hours before and my only bag of nourishment I brought along was unhealthy liquorice Assorts. From today onwards zero tolerance to anything unhealthy while at home. Video 2: wearing chain weights I tire quickly. Video3 : added weight makes my 8 leg raises reps quite sluggish. Video 4: I’m impressed I manage hanging with extra weight for a minute Video5: my arms are stretched to their limit barely able to grasp the horizontal bars that are outside of the vertical bars. Video 6: Look closely at my hand grips; this is my first ever attempt at gripping gym rings and hanging in a LSit holding only by my middle finger of each hand Video 7 can I hang from my bad shoulder holding on by middle fingers on weaker left hand #weightedexercises #weightedbodyweight #weightedhangs #chainweights #bodyweightexercises #singlefingerhang #over60fitness #over50fit#over40fit (at Enfield, Enfield, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClzHAR8jGF1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ad. 🍓🍋 I've been taking these all-in-one nutritional supplements from @agelesslx for the past month. They're perfect for me because they're specifically designed for women #over40. I take them to enhance muscle definition and strength (without workouts), reduce the appearance of #wrinkles, cellulite and sagging #crepeyskin. They help me grow thicker hair and stronger nails. I've also been adding the #powergreens to give me some added energy and fight bloating.

🍓🍋 My favorite flavor so far is delicious strawberry lemonade. I simply mix one of the handy packets in water. The reason it works so wel isl because of the unique blend of Horsetail, Biotin, Vitamins D3 and K2 plus powerful HMB. It actually works from the inside to rebuild and strengthen cellular structure to slow down the visible #signsofaging from within your cells. It also stimulates your own #Collagen production! The #horsetail prevents hair loss and promotes healthy hair and #biotin promotes nail and hair growth.

🍓🍋 I have totally noticed an improvement in my skin, hair and nails already and it's only been a month. I trust #AgelessLX because it's backed science and includes all my favorite supplements I know and love. If you're 40 and up try it for yourself and let me know what you think!

Meet @deesgonnloseit I’m Dee, and I’ve lost 125 pounds. Sept 2018 I decided I was fed up living life as a spectator. I’ve always been very social, but realized my quality of life had greatly declined over the last 6 years. So I decided to get serious about my health. A few months in, I lost 36lbs by changing how I ate. While that was exciting, I ended up having medical issues which put me in chronic severe pain. I was in & out of the ER, Dr’s, & regular chiropractic care. My pain was so bad that I was basically becoming bed bound. At 42 years old, & a single mom, I refused to let this be my future. So I made a choice to start walking every other day, only able to do 7 minutes at first. Long story short, I’ve lost 108lbs, working out 5-6 days a week, & am no longer in chronic pain. I not only walk, but I can jog a 5k, swim over 2000 meters, dance, lift weights, etc. I still have a long way to go, but I will continue to fight for a better future for myself so I can be the best mom I can be to my daughter. Losing weight is hard, but which hard do you want? The hard that comes with being unhealthy, or the hard that comes with getting healthy? Starting tip: make small changes & achievable goals. Add to them as you go & you’ll see those small changes lead to big results. Also, have people who are supportive of your journey (one of the reasons why I just love the @wlstories community). Last, don’t ever give up. You are never to far gone, & you are worth fighting for! ________________ How has the Wlstories community influenced your journey? Wlstories community has been such a positive influence on my journey. I have met so many inspiring people and made some really great connections ________________ WLMEETUP CHICAGOLAND!!

The saying "The body strengthens what the mind believes" 💪🧠 is especially relevant for people over 40 who want to be healthy 🌱. Our bodies naturally change as we age 🕰️, and maintaining health and fitness can become more challenging 🏋️‍♂️. However, our mindset 🧘 can play a significant role in determining how well we age. If we believe we can be healthy and fit, our bodies will likely follow suit 🏃‍♂️💨. On the other hand, negative thoughts and beliefs about our aging bodies can lead to self-sabotaging behaviors 😔 and make it more difficult to achieve our health goals 🎯. 👉 Here are some specific ways that people over 40 can strengthen the mind-body connection and improve their health: 1. Believe in their ability to be healthy 🌟. This is perhaps the most crucial step. When we believe we can be beneficial, we are more likely to take the necessary steps to achieve our health goals. We are also more likely to persevere in the face of challenges 💪. 2. Set realistic and achievable health goals 📈. Once we have a positive mindset, we can start to set realistic and achievable health goals. This could include losing weight, eating healthier, or exercising regularly. It is essential to start small and gradually increase our goals over time 🌱. 3. Visualize success 🌈. Take some time each day to visualize yourself achieving your health goals. See yourself in your mind's eye as healthy, strong, and energetic. The more we can imagine our success, the more likely we will achieve it 🎯. 4. Practice positive self-talk 🗣️💬. The way we talk to ourselves can have a significant impact on our mindset and our health. Make a conscious effort to speak to yourself kindly and be supportive. Celebrate your successes and learn from your mistakes 🎉. Here are some specific examples of how the mind-body connection can manifest itself in the lives of people over 40: • A person who believes they are too old to exercise is less likely to start an exercise routine. However, a person who thinks training is essential for their health, regardless of age, is more likely to get regular exercise 🏃‍♀️. • People who believe they are doomed to develop chronic diseases as they age are likelier to experience those diseases 😷. However, people who think they can prevent chronic diseases by making healthy lifestyle choices are more likely to avoid those diseases 🍎. • A person who believes they will have a long and healthy life is more likely to care for their body and mind 🌟. However, a person who thinks they will have a short and unhealthy life is less likely to take care of themselves 😔. The mind-body connection is a powerful force that can significantly impact our health and well-being, especially as we age. By learning to harness the power of our thoughts and beliefs, we can improve our physical and mental health and live longer healthier lives 🌈🌟. #MindBodyConnection #LimitlessStrength #MindsetSecrets #Over40Fitness #AgingGracefully #HealthAfter40 #BelieveToAchieve #MentalStrength #PhysicalWellness #shorts #short #motivational40 #motivation #fitnessmotivation #fitnessover40
