What should you be training as you get older? šŖ
Strength is incredibly important, but it's not the only thing we need to maintain.
Balance, core stability, coordination, mobility and power all play a part in keeping us strong, capable and confident as we age.
These are three exercises we regularly use at Training Unity:
šŖ² Deadbugs ā a brilliant way to build core strength and stability, with plenty of variations to progress as you get stronger.
š¶ Marches ā great for developing balance and core strength, with different loading positions allowing us to safely increase the challenge.
šļø Power Cleans ā once the foundations are in place, these help us train power, coordination and athleticism. Power naturally declines with age, which makes continuing to train it particularly valuable.
And, as with everything we do, the exercise is adapted to the individual. It's not about what you should be able to do at a certain age ā it's about starting at the right level for you and progressing from there.
