Get expert fitness advice from Kelly Ripa’s trainer without Ozempic
As your body changes over time, it’s important to adjust your fitness routine accordingly.
“In your 20s, it’s important to push your intensity levels, lift heavier weights, build muscle, focus on cardio, and strengthen your heart,” advised Kaiser. “This foundation becomes even more vital as you age.”
Once you reach your 30s, it’s time to dial back the intensity a bit and concentrate more on maintaining and building muscle, using cardio to complement your workout routine,” she continued. “This is where I began working with Kelly.”
For women in their 40s, building muscle becomes more challenging. “Increasing protein intake, prioritizing strength training, and reducing cardio are key. Dance can be a fun alternative that doesn’t feel as strenuous as other high-intensity workouts,” Kaiser noted.
By the time you reach your 50s, the focus should shift to maintaining muscle mass and incorporating moderate cardio, aiming for 65 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate,” added Kaiser. “In your 60s, the emphasis should be on strength training, balance, and proper recovery.”
