Healthy Habits: Fitness Tips for Women 35+

1)    Weight training improves metabolism and can help women over the age of 35 lose weight

2)    Core training can make your waist smaller

3)    Lower body workouts using hip and glute variations can improve your “rear”

4)    A good night’s sleep is the single most important thing to improve overall health, hormone balance and increased energy level

5)    You can get better results on a treadmill if you walk on an incline instead of running flat  

6)    Pushups require zero equipment, can be done anywhere & when done correctly, strengthen the chest, triceps, shoulders & even the core

7)    Medicine balls are great for core training and can improve your posture 

8)    A pedometer helps you be more accountable to your daily activity (or inactivity)

9)    A foam roller is a good tool for reducing stiffness/tightness in the body that could lead to injuries

10)  30 minutes of the right exercise can be more effective than 60 minutes of running
