Strong @ 50 & Beyond (Basic)
myHealthCoach
General FitnessAthletes over the age of 50 require different training modalities compared to younger athletes.
More emphasis on movement, mobility and flexibility is needed, as well as training the body as a whole and not in individual parts.
My strength & conditioning plan for athletes at 50 or beyond has been designed through coaching senior athletes. And through my own training (yes I am over 50).
My training has changed over the last few years, with a combination of hard training sessions and a good amount of recovery.
This training plan will help maintain and improve your overall body strength, increase mobility, increase cardiovascular fitness and provide the suppleness that we need as we age.
