Mature Adult Fitness

The Differences Between Young Adults and Mature Adult Fitness

Everyone knows as we get older, our bodies begin to move slower, and we all have those aches and pains in places we have forgotten. Mature adult fitness can be more challenging due to the bones of seniors being more brittle. We have to be careful at the movements they can perform during the exercises. As some grow older, some of their bones are not as strong for support. However, there are more seniors today that can run circles around some of the younger generations. They have kept up with their nutrition, daily workouts, and staying active in various activities. For these individuals, mature adult fitness comes naturally. When we run the assessment through the interview, we look for everyone's limitations, but we take more precautions around the elderly. No one is exempt from our programs. We offer the same goals of fitness and wellness. We have to tweak a few things to accommodate.


Today, most women are treated equally to men in what they can do. We see this everywhere as more women are in the Armed Forces and doing construction jobs and other jobs only men used to do. It is an excellent movement for women, and many have proven to do the same tasks as men. Some even do it better in some instances. In mature female fitness, the same rules apply that no one is exempt from what they can or cannot do. It is more important women keep up in the mature female fitness programs we have available in most cases. Studies and tests have proven that there are more women than men who have heart issues. To keep up with the cardiovascular system is critical in mature female fitness. Though nothing is guaranteed when it comes to heart failure, it can take anyone. It is a healthy idea to keep up with the heart.


Mature women fitness is popular among women over the ages of 50 and 60. Like our group sessions, they love to exercise together, and they keep each other great company. Many women in mature women's fitness groups continue to stay active and healthy. Many men care about nutrition, but women top the list on keeping a nutritious diet and staying fit. As they age, they worry more about their appearance and staying in shape. Once again, some mature women fitness groups can run circles around women half their age. Staying fit also helps keep women looking younger. There are many models that are over 50 and still look young and fit. That is all the proof anyone needs to see when it comes to mature women fitness to know it works for them.


There is not much difference when it comes to mature women and mature men fitness. The programs we offer have the same precautions and are not as strenuous as the younger generations. Most men stay active until they cannot move anymore. They are always trying to work and do things with their hands. It is within a man's nature to be needed and do something. The most significant difference with mature men's fitness is the diet. As men get older, calcium is essential to have, but it is not as important as women. Most men will have kidney stones with too much calcium deposits. They still need dairy products for their bones but need to be careful around foods that are high in calcium. For exercising, men need to be careful and not think they can still do everything the same as when they were young. It is an excellent idea to remain motivated, but staying careful should be a priority.


For mature fitness, there is a chart every trainer goes according to age. Sometimes this chart is not accurate for some people. Some seniors come in and can run a marathon. They are only looking to stay in shape, which is excellent. As a personal trainer, it does our hearts good to see them so active and vibrant. These are the people who decided to live in the second half of their lives healthy. There is a saying, "You are only as old as you feel." Some 35-year-olds feel like they are 80, and some 80-year-olds never stop and feel like they are 40. It is all in how well a person takes care of themselves, and it all revolves around exercise and a healthy diet. Cutting back on sugar, fats, grease, and adding grains, fiber, and other healthy foods makes a world of difference. In many cases staying fit has prevented certain health conditions from happening.​
