Independence later in life
The good news is that muscle can still respond to training well beyond your 40s.
Protein and Muscle Recovery
Training is only part of the equation.
Your body also needs enough protein and overall nutrition to repair and maintain muscle.
We will cover:
Protein needs
Meal timing
Recovery
Hydration

Joint Friendly Training
Training harder is not always training smarter.
Men over 40 often benefit from paying more attention to:
Exercise technique
Warm ups
Mobility
Recovery
Training volume
Joint health
The goal is to get stronger without constantly getting injured.
Walking and Everyday Movement
Fitness does not happen only inside a gym.
Walking, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, yard work, and daily movement all contribute to better health.
