Revised Training Technique Focuses on Body Movements Instead of Muscle Development
Strength training is the key to combating muscle loss, a natural occurrence after the age of 30. As we grow older, we lose significant amounts of muscle - by the age of 40, it's a Christmas ham's worth, and by 60, it's a family-sized turkey worth of muscle that is lost. But fear not, for strength training is the solution to this issue.
A balanced workout should include five essential movements: squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, and core. These movements are crucial for maintaining overall strength and mobility.
Squatting builds mobility and leg strength for daily life, while hinging strengthens the glutes and hamstrings. Pulling improves posture, helps prevent shoulder pain, and keeps the arms and shoulders strong for overhead tasks. Pushing, on the other hand, ensures that your upper body remains strong and capable.
Core training, an integral part of any balanced workout, reduces back pain, keeps the spine stable, and supports every movement. It's important to note that it's not possible to work each muscle individually, so focusing on these essential movements will ensure a well-rounded workout.
In fact, the smarter question to ask is "what movements should I train?" rather than "what muscles should I train?" After all, our bodies are made up of more than 600 muscles, and focusing on the essential movements will ensure that all muscles are engaged and strengthened.
