Is fitness necessary in adulthood?

For some reason, many people think that fitness is only for the young and active. But that is far from the case. There are many fitness methods that can meet the demands and achieve certain goals in all age categories. Today we will talk about what is called "mature age". In fact, the first period of maturity begins between the ages of 22 and 24, but today we will talk more about the second period, when involutionary processes in the body begin to prevail: 36-60 years.
On the one hand, this is the most important period of life, during which a person is engaged in self-realization: he actively works, raises children, builds a house, etc. On the other hand, age-related changes occur in our body. While the brain is at 100%, a number of indicators of physical development and the level of physical potential decrease.
Namely:
Changes in body composition (decrease in muscle mass and increase in fat mass); A decrease in cardiorespiratory endurance (increased blood pressure, decreased potential for increasing heart rate, shortness of breath in response to exercise, which was easily tolerated before, etc.); Decreased flexibility of joints, ligaments, tendons; Reduced power potential.

As a result, our metabolic rate decreases, and with it, weight increases, even if we eat the same as before. Maximum strength and endurance, decreased joint mobility. The body begins to react violently and it takes a long time to recover after usual loads. Well, for example, jogging or climbing the stairs to the 9th floor.

What are the goals of fitness in adulthood? The main goal is to combat age-related decline in physical performance and internal organs and systems. As a result, we have increased basal metabolism, immunity, strength and cardiorespiratory endurance. These changes reduce your biological age and you begin to feel a few years younger. Support for joint mobility, flexibility. And this is the main prevention of age-related joint changes - arthrosis and osteochondrosis. The correction has already taken place. For example, if there are back problems, then it is necessary to develop the muscular corset of the body, etc.

Use different training for other purposes: any change in activity leads to an improvement in the emotional state, you can learn to dance, make new like-minded friends, etc.
