If you are 40 and feeling somewhat weak and worn out, then do not worry anymore. The science of exercise has proved that one can regain his strength and vitality at any age if the right measures are taken on time. Here are some tips that will help you stay fit and strong even after 40.

Besides the regular exercises and workouts, every person over the age of 40 should follow a specific routine. Discussed below are some tips to assist you in this regard.

Ascertain your priorities. Understand your health problems and speak to the doctor about them. He will give you the correct advice. He will tell you what measures to take. Perhaps, going for morning walks or doing push-ups or squats along with a few pills will relieve you of your health problems. Take the guidance of a personal trainer and he will show you the correct methods of doing your exercises.

Do not neglect if you have any unusual feelings. Always remember that you are no longer young that you can manage everything. The mind stays young but the body wears out along with age. So visit the physician and relate to him what you feel. He is there to diagnose your problems.

Go for regular check-ups especially if you have any heart problems or chronic diseases or diabetes.

Get rid of extra fat. Excess weight leads to a number of diseases like cardiac problems and diabetes. These are deadly diseases and must be taken care of.

Take care of your food habits and stick to a balanced diet. Fatty foods and irregular eating habits often can make you fall sick because your digestive system is no longer as strong as it was earlier. Foods that contain all essential nutrients in the required proportions should be consumed timely. There should not be long gaps between meals. Be careful not to eat more than usual even if the food is very tasty.

Another interesting thing that will help you to stay fit is joining a laughter club. It is the best medicine one can think of. Make friends and keep yourself engaged by doing the things you love to do. It keeps the mind free from all tension and worries.

Be young at heart. Never let your age weigh you down or make you feel lonely and neglected. But never do anything in a hurry. Keep control over your anger and excitement. They are very harmful and there are many instances where individuals have suffered from heart attacks due to continuous stress. Actually the blood pressure goes up and it affects the heart and sometimes even the cerebrum.

So, carry on with your regular work but in a measured way and not as you would have done in your 20s and 30s. If you are really serious about keeping fit even after 40, follow the rules of keeping fit and you are sure to enjoy a happy and healthy life for long.
