098: 5 Exercise Strategies Guys 40+ CAN'T Ignore

The Better Man Podcast

Here’s a harsh truth:

Getting old sucks. But it’s a reality you can't ignore or escape from.

It’s easier to get hurt. You feel more sore more often. Little aches and pain become more pronounced and harder to ignore. Your energy and motivation declines.

But worst of all: You can’t workout like you used to when you were younger (unless you want to injure yourself).

That’s the bad news.

The good news?

In today’s show, I reveal my top 5 tips for staying fit and injury-free as you get older. Here’s a taste of what I cover in this episode:

• Why you must change your approach to exercise once you hit 40
• The biggest mistakes men make as they age which increases their risk of injury
• Why incorporating more low-intensity exercises into your schedule - like walking your dog around the block - can prevent injuries

And more to help you stay fit, healthy, and injury-free as you age, including…

• Why you need to do specific warm-up exercises as you get older (and why lighter weight reps don’t count) (3:05)
• Can’t do squats without paralyzing knee pain? Here’s how to eliminate your knee pain while squatting (even if you’re over 50) (3:57)
