When we go beyond a certain age 35 or 40 it becomes harder to recover from the work outs and harder to gain muscle and it is more difficult to lose weight as metabolism slows down with ageing. |
I'm 45 and definitely notice the recovery slowdown. Injuries are easier to get, cramping muscles, and recovery from a bicycle accident takes months now. The scar on my knee from 2 years ago is still clearly visible.
Stopping altogether is no good either, but slowing down a bit is a good idea I think. Work out to keep endurance up instead of focusing on raw strength. It is annoying though that joints start hurting much sooner while jogging and even cycling.
