Exercise habits to avoid after age
50 to prolong life. 

00:00:07.273 --> 00:00:08.693 
Skip warm-up and cool-down. 

00:00:09.073 --> 00:00:13.173 
As you age, your joints and muscles need
more time to warm up and recover. 

00:00:13.993 --> 00:00:18.378 
Skipping the warm-up and cool-down can
increase your risk of sprains, 

00:00:18.378 --> 00:00:19.973 
strains, pain and injury. 

00:00:22.453 --> 00:00:26.533 
Lifting heavy weights without proper
preparation is one of the leading causes of injury. 

00:00:27.713 --> 00:00:31.593 
Be consistent, your muscles need regular
stimulation to grow. 

00:00:31.593 --> 00:00:36.253 
Proper training and consistency are the
keys to achieving any goal. 

00:00:37.453 --> 00:00:39.173 
Just focus on strength training. 

00:00:39.573 --> 00:00:41.733 
Strength training is important as you age. 

00:00:42.093 --> 00:00:45.760 
However, flexibility, balance, and
mobility exercises should not be 

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:48.613 
overlooked as they can
cause muscle imbalances. 

00:00:49.193 --> 00:00:53.753 
After age 50, these exercises become
more important in preventing falls and 

00:00:53.753 --> 00:00:55.653 
improving overall quality of movement.
