Trainer Reveals the Workout for a Lean Body After 50

A goal to get lean involves three things, regardless of age: eating a balanced diet rich in lean protein and plenty of vegetables, doing regular strength training, and engaging in aerobic activity. However, if you've reached the age of 50, reducing weight and getting slim can be difficult—especially if you weren't extremely active in your 30s and 40s. It's not right, but there's a valid reason for it. If you don't do anything to create and retain lean muscle mass as you get older, your metabolism will slow down. Don't worry, since we've discovered the best workout for getting a slim body beyond 50.

People in their forties and fifties frequently lament the fact that their metabolism isn't what it used to be as they age. It's not only because they're getting older; the explanation is because they haven't been as active or as healthy as they were when they were younger.

Because of the inevitable metabolic changes that accompany aging, you should begin living a healthy lifestyle as soon as possible. It's not too late to get a lean body if you haven't already started. You can make it happen if you start training properly. Making strength training a priority is the greatest method to do so. This type of exercise will help you gain muscle, increase your metabolism, and burn more calories than steady-state aerobic activity.

This workout can help you get a lean body beyond 50. Simply incorporate it into your workout program and get started! Continue reading to learn more, and then see Trainer Says: The 6 Best Exercises for Strong and Toned Arms in 2022.

1 Goblet Squat

Grab a dumbbell and hold it with both hands underneath the grip, as seen in the illustration above. Squat down to the point where your hips are parallel to the floor, keeping your body as upright as possible. To end, drive through your heels and stand up, flexing your glutes and quads. 3–4 sets of 10–12 repetitions is a good goal.

2 Lat Pulldowns

Hold the lat pulldown bar just outside your shoulders with your palms facing away from you. Slightly lean back and use your elbows to draw the bar down to your sternum, squeezing your lats at the bottom of the exercise. Maintain tension in your lats by resisting on the way up. Allow your shoulder blades to rise before performing another rep to get a good stretch at the very top. 3–4 sets of 10–12 repetitions are required.

3 Pushups

In a plank position, your body should be totally straight above the ground. Begin with your feet together and your shoulders aligned with your wrists. Maintain a firm core and tight glutes as you lower yourself until your chest reaches the floor. To finish, push yourself back up while flexing your pecs and triceps. Perform three to four sets of 10 to 15 reps.

Remember that if you don't have the strength to complete a full pushup yet, you can start with an inclination.

4 Dumbbell Walking Lunges

With a dumbbell in each hand, begin this exercise. With one leg, take a step forward and plant your foot firmly. Then, slowly lower yourself until your back knee lightly meets the ground. Repeat the process with the opposite leg. For each leg, do 3 to 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps.

5 Dumbbell Hammer Curls

Grab a pair of dumbbells in a neutral grip with both hands facing each other, as seen in the image above. Curl the weight up while keeping your shoulders pushed back and flexing your forearms and biceps the entire time. Squeeze firmly at the top, then resist as you descend. 3–4 sets of 13–15 repetitions are recommended.
