What is the best way to keep yourself fit at an age of 35?





Always remember age is only a number, "Live free, Live Young". If you are fit, nobody can determine your age. Though ways of keeping yourself fit changes with age as your body start reacting differently to various exercises.
First rule to keep yourself fit is to find time for your body. My personal logic is "if you can't dedicate 1 hour daily to your own body, what can you expect from your body except illness".
Ways of keeping yourself fit:
  1. Hit the gym in the morning. Age is no bar to give a visit to gym, beside cardio exercises give some time for weight training as well. Mix of cardio and weight training is the best way to reduce body fat and keep weight under check.
  2. Morning Walk/Jog: Daily morning walk of 30 mins/day and you can see the difference in 2 months. This is foremost the easy exercise which doesn't require any equipment and you will also develop a good habit of waking early in the morning.
  3. Dump the escalators and always take the stairs
  4. Always park your car in the farthest place in the parking to give yourself some walk before and after the office timings
  5. Stretching exercises at your desk every 1 hour
  6. Avoid coffee and tea and go for green tea
  7. Avoid junk food or limit it to bare minimum
  8. Eat breakfast as King, lunch as prince and dinner as beggar
  9. Take regular sleep of 6-8 hours
Building strength and flexibility in your body are two of the main forms of exercise according the the University of Maryland Medical Center. When you include weightlifting and resistance training to build strength in your regular workout program, the muscles in your body will get stronger, and your bones will be healthier. Strength training can build muscle and bone density at every age. Easy muscle building exercises include push-ups, pull-ups and lifting weights. Flexibility helps you move better and have less joint pain. Stretching your muscles will help prevent cramping and getting hurt.
