Exercising every muscle group may seem like a week s worth of work, but all of this can be accomplished in just five minutes a day, with this total-body workout video thanks to fitness expert Berto Calkins, known as @whatsgoodberto on Instagram.
Strength and resistance workouts are extremely important now, to feel your strongest, most mobile, and stay injury-free. When one muscle group is stronger than another, you re likely to have an imbalance that leads to pain or possibly more serious injury, especially in the stronger areas that try to compensate for the weaker ones. For instance, your back may be stronger than your abs, so your back muscles will over-perform the stabilizing, pulling, bending or lifting job that your abs should be helping with, and to protect your spine you ll pull a muscle or even herniate a disc.

If you want to fight muscle loss and weight gain related to aging, add resistance training to your routine. That s the finding of a new study that looked at whether resistance training was as effective for women as it is for men and found that both benefit equally from strength training to fight muscle loss, slow metabolism, fat gain, and the onset of disease.
The difference is women are more reluctant to add resistance training and instead choose cardio as their go-to workout of choice, leaving them more vulnerable to age-related muscle loss, slower metabolism, and more fat gain over time. The study authors recommend that women add regular resistance training into their routine to tone up, get stronger and reverse the aging-related muscle loss that can lead to injuries, disease, and worse sleep and immunity. The findings confirm that both men and women should continue to resistance train as they hit 50 and beyond, to fight the effects of aging on the body.
