20 Amazing Benefits of Exercise for Women over 40.

We spend so much time thinking, and over-thinking and complaining about the workout we have to do. If only we could somehow switch that part off and train our brains to GET ON WITH IT.

You know what though? You can. 

You can literally block out any thoughts of your workout until 5 minutes before you start. To do that though, you need to have your three workouts per week scheduled in, and an alarm set to remind you. This won’t work if you’re not ridiculously scheduled within a minute of your workout time. You need to plan and schedule them and don’t move them unless you really have to.

You know what happens then? 

You become CONSISTENT! 

And you know what you get for your efforts? 

You feel brilliant in your clothes;

You feel fit;

You’re happier;

You’re calmer;

You think better;

You reduce your risk of health problems;

You get great skin, nails and hair;

You can hike mountains;

You can climb the stairs;

Your metabolism gets high;

You burn lots of calories at rest;

You get strong muscles and strong bones;

You build lean muscle mass;

You reduce the risk of heart problems;

You don’t feel as achey and stiff;

You become a fit and healthier version of yourself;

You sleep better and feel more naturally tired in the evening;

You reduce your blood pressure;

You more burn fat at rest;

You feel more positive about life

Three workouts, three times per week gives you all that and more. Work at not over-thinking it, get on with it and reap all the rewards. The sooner you do it, the quicker it’ll become less of a big deal and the more integrated into your life it’ll become.

Do strength training, interval training and core work.
