by Jesse J. Leyva, Owner of Outlaw Fitcamp

With our classes and our one-on-one personal training sessions, we can give you effective and efficient 30-minute workouts that fit into your busy schedule. And if you’re 50 years or older, staying (or getting) fit becomes more important than ever for your quality of life and wellbeing.

Here are 6 reasons why it’s so important to stay fit after 50.

1. Reduces your risk of sickness and chronic disease

Studies consistently prove that exercise reduces your risk of many chronic diseases and illnesses. People who work out regularly have up to a 50% lower risk of developing osteoporosis, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, many types of cancer, stroke, and high blood pressure.

2. Reduces your Alzheimer’s or dementia risk

Exercise keeps your mind sharp as you age. In fact, studies show it can lower your odds of having memory and cognitive problems by almost half. Working out boosts blood flow to your brain and helps new brain cells develop.

Strength, flexibility, and balance prevent people from stumbling and falling—one of the major causes of injury for people as they get older.

3. Builds strength

We’re not talking about the kind of strength you need for weight lifting competitions here (although we can help you with that too). We’re talking about the strength and stamina you need to get through your day more easily. One study of weight training in older people showed that this activity developed helpful genetic changes in their cells.

Balance and flexibility are always important to have. But the older you get, the more crucial this is. Strength, flexibility, and balance prevent people from stumbling and falling—one of the major causes of injury for people as they get older.

5. Elevates your mood and boosts your energy level

The endorphins produced during exercise help reduce feelings of stress and depression. Working out releases chemicals that make you feel more relaxed and less anxious right away, and these feelings stay with you after your workout ends.

6. Helps you look and feel younger

Research shows that working out makes almost every tissue in your body healthier and better. This means you not only feel better on the inside but look better on the outside too. In fact, one study showed that women who exercised regularly had the skin composition of women 20 to 30 years younger. This is because exercising produces proteins secreted by muscles and sent throughout your body. Try to find a cream that can do that!

It’s Never Too Late to Get Fit

Research shows that a sedentary lifestyle decreases your fitness level even more than biological aging does. Fortunately, you can do something about a sedentary lifestyle!

Let Outlaw FitCamp by Jesse James show you how efficient and effective our 30-minute workouts are. They give you a healthier body, happier spirit, and greater sense of wellbeing.

After all, getting fit is not just about adding years to your life, but adding life to your years!
