Fitness After 50 Success Tip: Build Your At-Home Gym

Building a low-budget and effective ‘at-home gym’ 🏠🏋️‍♀️

~5 minute read

We’ve encouraged our members to build an at-home gym long before people started spending so much time in their home in 2020. Accomplishing this one task is one of the best things you can do for your longterm health and longevity.

We’ve recently updated our at-home gym guide so that you can overcome 3 problems most people are faced with when trying to get fit after 50. The guide is short and to the point and has some new recommendations added since our version from 2 years ago.

Problems that this guide solves 🔒🔑

The first problem is not having an at-home exercise set up. This is a bigger problem than you might realize. But when you have a good set up in your own home you automatically remove a lot of the barriers to fitness.

Are you putting in the work but not seeing the results?

We all have our go-to “treat food” that, as hard as we try, is so hard to resist. 🍔 If you’re looking to reach your ideal weight, there’s nothing wrong with indulging every once in a while. However, it’s important to be aware of how often it’s happening and make sure it’s not sabotaging our weight-loss efforts.

As we age, our nutrition becomes increasingly more important when it comes to accomplishing our fitness goals. As our metabolism slows down the idea of “burning off” some less-than-ideal food choices can become seemingly impossible. 😢

That’s why we want to have a way to stay aware of what we’re taking in and how much. 🔎

Quitting ‘cold-turkey’ is often an unrealistic method of introducing change into our lives. In theory it’s great for quick results, however, it typically only lasts a few days to a couple of weeks before we fall back into our old habits or give up entirely. 😔

Best Practice #4 - Follow a Progressive Program

Following a progressive program is crucial to avoid plateaus and get the best possible results. 👊

Although the key to reaching our fitness goals is to remain consistent, following the same program for too long can actually prevent us from getting the results we’re looking for. This is called hitting a plateau (aka stagnation).

For this reason, it’s important to change up our routine on a regular basis. A progressive exercise program will allow us to overcome these obstacles and provide a “snowball effect” so that we can get the best possible results! 🥳

In order to avoid hitting a plateau (and getting bored with our workout routine), we need to:

  1. update our program every 4-6 weeks

  2. gradually progress/change training variables
