Getting started with fitness after 50 can be daunting but one factor you should never doubt, though, is that it\u2019s worth it. Despite the cute sayings about how 50 is the new 30, there are plenty of distinctive changes that come with the big 5-0 that make it both challenging and rewarding.<\/p>\n

Despite the cute sayings about how 50 is the new 30, there are plenty of distinctive changes that come with the big 5-0 that make it both challenging and rewarding.<\/p>\n

For both men and women, getting started with fitness at this age \u2014 or coming back to working out \u2014 often requires a more thoughtful, wade-in approach to ensure you\u2019re easing your body into a routine in a healthy, sustainable way.<\/p>\n

One factor you should never doubt, though, is that it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we age, the body produces new cells at a slower rate, our metabolism slows, and our cells\u2019 structures change, losing their ability to function optimally,\u201d says\u00a0Lisa Hubbard<\/a>, a Pilates instructor with more than 20 years of experience \u2014 and creator of\u00a0Beginner Pilates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best way to combat the aging process is by movement,\u00a0a healthy diet<\/a>, and consistent exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n

The best news is that it\u2019s not too late to get considerable benefits in terms of strength,\u00a0balance<\/a>, bone density, joint mobility, and all the other advantages of exercise \u2014 like improved mood,\u00a0better sleep<\/a>, and good cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n

With all those benefits lined up, it\u2019s time to dial-in your\u00a0nutrition, fitness, and mindset<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But where to start? Here are some insights on the best strategies for getting started with fitness over age 50.<\/p>\n

1. Keep a Steady Pace \u2014 Don\u2019t Speed<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s OK to feel like a total beginner if that\u2019s what you are.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re over 50 and starting a fitness routine, having a clear strategy can be a really big challenge, says trainer\u00a0Jen Widerstrom<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 who designed the beginner-friendly\u00a0Get Moving and Start Losing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you get older, it\u2019s hard to know what your body is capable of as you\u2019re aging, so structure and progressions will be key as you step into a new program,\u201d she states. \u201cYou want those so you can have continued forward progress without any injuries or setbacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

That means as much as you might be ready to launch yourself into a program at full force \u2014 and possibly think you\u2019re \u201cmaking up for lost time\u201d \u2014 seeing this as a lifestyle change is a much better approach.<\/p>\n

2. Modify as Needed<\/h2>\n

\"Mature<\/a><\/p>\n

Even with programs geared toward beginners, you might not be ready to do every move, and that\u2019s OK.<\/p>\n

Challenging yourself is great, but pushing yourself in a way that means you\u2019re not listening to your body?<\/p>\n

Not good.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlways remember that\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0are in control,\u201d says Widerstrom. \u201cYou can take reps slower, take advantage of modifications, and watch what the teacher is doing before you do it. There\u2019s no rush or pressure on your learning process.\u201d<\/p>\n

That also helps to spark curiosity, she adds. Instead of thinking of everything you can\u2019t do, develop a passion for the process and be interested in what your body is capable of achieving.<\/p>\n

3. Build in Rest Time<\/h2>\n

\"Couple<\/a><\/p>\n

As you create a\u00a0solid workout schedule, be sure to include recovery days.<\/p>\n

That means staying active but dialing it back to get a sense of rest and rejuvenation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a good idea to revisit your schedule weekly to see if there are\u00a0other classes you might want to try, or maybe shift to doing a program that comes with a timeframe.<\/p>\n

No matter what you choose, it\u2019s helpful to see your age as a starting point, not a barrier.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re on a new adventure, and that\u2019s exciting!<\/p>\n

4. Listen to Your Body<\/h2>\n

As the saying goes, wisdom comes with age, so use yours to your advantage. The longer we live in our bodies, the more we get to know them.<\/p>\n

When yours is telling you something, listen. Then respond.<\/p>\n

\u201cBegin slowly and build gradually to avoid the risk of injury \u2014 and listen to your body at all times,\u201d says Hubbard. \u201cIt might be asking you to be patient, or telling you that it can take on a little more, and most definitely, it will be thanking you.\u201d<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Lisa Hubbard Beginner Pilates<\/a><\/h3>\n

Pilates is one of the best starting points when you\u2019re getting started with exercise because of its focus on core strength and the way it goes about strengthening and conditioning the body.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt teaches proper movement patterns, body alignment, correct breathing, and it works to tone and stretch the entire body with a low-impact system of exercises,\u201d says Hubbard.<\/p>\n
