Age 30 to 39 is a transitional period for men. We have moved past the invincibility of our 20s, but are not yet facing the mid-life mortality that our 40s will bring. Injuries take longer to heal than they once did, but the risk for chronic illnesses is only slightly higher than it was in years prior. We can still physically do most everything that we always have, just not quite as quickly/effectively as we once did. In this transitional phase, what are the best ways to maintain our health for both short and long term prospects? Here are some tips on how to stay healthy as you hit the big three-oh:
* It is in this age range that exercise goes from an activity to make you look good for the ladies to an actual requirement for health benefits. At this point, you will want to focus a little less about weights and strength training and a little more about cardio programs (walking, running, biking, etc.). Anything that gets your heart rate up can be advantageous. While you can still do weight lifting if that is important to you, it should be noted that you are now more prone to muscle sprains and strains. Finding a workout routine is most recommended. Do things that make you break a sweat, but are not likely to lead to injury.
