Over 50? Avoid These 6 Common Strength Training Mistakes
- "After 50, recovery time between strength training sessions might need to be longer," Cummings tells us. "Overworking muscles can lead to fatigue and injury. Sleep is where all the fountain of youth hormones are released, so make sure rest and sleep are factored into your recovery session."
The article from Eat This, Not That! discusses common strength training mistakes that individuals over 50 should avoid to maintain health and prevent injuries. Key points include not warming up properly, which can lead to muscle strains; lifting too heavy weights too soon, risking joint and muscle damage; neglecting recovery, which is crucial for muscle repair and growth; improper form during exercises, increasing the likelihood of injury; ignoring core strength, which supports overall body function; not incorporating balance and flexibility exercises, vital for fall prevention; sticking to the same routine without progression, leading to plateaus; and not listening to one's body, potentially pushing through pain that signals injury. The article emphasizes the importance of adapting strength training routines to accommodate age-related changes in the body, focusing on technique, recovery, and a balanced approach to fitness.
