I wanted to give an example of what the perfect baby boomer fitness program should look like. Any baby boomer who is looking to improve their overall health and fitness should start implementing this special fitness program in their daily routine. I've been a personal trainer for over 25 years and most of my clients have always been the ageless baby boomers, so I know what works for them.
Most people have a big misconception about how much time you really have to spend working out in a week to be fit. If you watch what you eat you can control your weight with diet, which I highly recommend, then you do not have to work out that much to stay in good shape. If you are an active person then you are already half way there.
Your main goal should be to increase your lean muscle mass, improve your cardiovascular system, and keep yourself flexible and agile. To improve your cardiovascular system you should do some form of aerobics two or three times a week. You will be doing resistance training exercise two days per week to improve your muscular strength and increase your lean muscle mass. Finally, you want to be sure that you practice moving through all plains of motion at least twice a week so your body remains flexible.
The key is to eat a diet of whole natural foods, so you avoid taking in too many calories that require hours at the gym to burn off. You can work out not just to burn calories but instead to create more lean muscle, a strong heart and a flexibility body.
Here's what the ideal baby boomer fitness program should include:
* Aerobic exercise for 30 minutes, 2 to 3 times each week. Swim, bike,walk, anything aerobic for 30 minuets at your target heart rate.
*Do resistance training 2 days a week. You can train your whole body with resistance exercise, you can train at home or at a gym with resistance bands or free weights for 30 minuets.
*10 minuets of dynamic movement for 10 minuets 2 days a week. Full body callisthenic type movements in all plains of motion will keep you flexible and agile.
Here's what a typical program might look like:
Day 1- 30 minuets aerobics training.
Day 2 Resistance Training 30 minutes
Day 3- 10 minuets dynamic training.
Day 4- 30 minuets aerobics training.
Day 5- 30 minuets resistance training.
Day 6 - Aerobics Training 30 minutes
Day 7 - Second 10 minute dynamic movements session
With a well-designed baby boomer fitness program, you can be fit and healthy without spending hours sweating in the gym or trying to run through the park.
