Mid-Life Fit Tips Rick Wong

As we age, exercising right takes on greater significance than when we were younger, and has to be much more than just merely "sweating-it-out" or "huffing-and-puffing" aimlessly along ....

This podcast episode explores the basic and fundamental movement patterns that ALL midlife and older adults should focus on in their regular workout routines.

Training these movement patterns on a regular basis will not only help us to stay fit, functional and independent as the years roll by, they will also enhance and enrich our quality of life.

Throughout my years of fitness coaching with a wide spectrum of clients, I have often emphasized the importance of a well-rounded and balanced fitness program. 

This is even more so for any mid-life or senior fitness program where one's overall well-being, quality of life and fitness longevity are greatly-influenced by how balanced and holistic a fitness program is.

In this episode, I will briefly discuss the different elements or components of fitness, namely: cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, balance, flexibility and mobility/movement - all of which play a significant role in the overall fitness of any older adult being.

In fitness, as in many things in life, sometimes it's best to just get back to the basics and get our fundamentals right when working-out. Rather than get caught up in all the 'sexy' and 'cool' moves we see on social media, many mid-life and older adults will get GREATER benefits by just building their exercise programs on solid foundations.
