In today's video, I share my strength training workout tips for adults 50+.
Beginning a strength training program after the age of 50 can be difficult. Maybe you haven't worked out in years. Maybe you have NEVER worked out.
What is the biggest mistake that people make? They begin to aggressively! People often go from complete inactivity to 56 workouts per week. This is a formula for disaster.
How should you begin a strength training program? I recommend that people begin their program with 2 workouts per week. Each workout should last only 20 minutes (this doesn't include the time you require to warm up). Each workout should be a full body workout.
Every 3 weeks, you should add 5 minutes to each workout. When you get to 40 minutes per workout, you can then move to 3 workouts per week (if you so desire). At this point, I would now change my workouts and no long perform full body workouts. I would perform a push workout, pull workout, and a leg workout. Each of these workouts will now be for 30 minutes.
Once again, in 3 weeks increase each workout by 5 minutes until you reach 40 minutes. After you reach this type of training schedule, you can decide if you want to get involved with more advance strength training. This would be a video for another day!
