Between age 20 and 50, most Americans percent
body fat doubles. This is mainly due to a decrease in metabolism. As
you age, your activity level tends to decrease. With decreased activity,
muscle tissue is lost. To preserve this precious tissue, you need to
start placing emphasis on strength training. Just make sure that you
check with your doctor before starting any exercise regimen.
One of the keys to strength training is to always
schedule a day off - no aerobic exercise or strength exercises. You
need to let your body recover.
One of the other very important things for you
to do is to eat, small, frequent meals throughout the day. This will
help speed up metabolism for any age person.
Remember that the one constant that you cannot
change is your age. Therefore it is up to you to change the things that
you can. The basic formula for weight loss is increased activity and
decreased caloric intake. Try to eat 5 small meals a day, as early in
the day as possible. Don't eat anything for at least 4 hours before
you go to bed. Get some form of exercise every day but make sure that
you also have a day of rest.
