Pete Ryan writes about the importance of exercising as you age. He reviews why you may need to spend more time working out as you age but less time doing hard physical activity. He also discusses NEAT or Non-Exercise Thermogenisis, the idea of burning calories without exercise. This is very important for older adults so they don’t become sedentary. If you want to increase your movement this is a great article to get some ideas!
Key Takeaways:
- This one is going to annoy you in some respects. I will tell you right from the outset that there are not an ideal number of times per week, duration or intensity to train at.
- A lot depends on things like exact age, outside stress, other activities that will affect how many times a week you train and how long those sessions last.
- I can sum up the ideal in one sentence though and from there we can look at options.
“A lot depends on things like exact age, outside stress, other activities that will affect how many times a week you train and how long those sessions last.”
