Hello everyone welcome back to Fit Body Happy Joins. My name is Shannon. Today we are talking about how to exercise

Starting in your 30s to set yourself up for a successful aging process your 30s are truly a pivotal time that can either set you up for a

smooth aging process or set you up for a harder one. Starting an anti-aging

workout in your 30s is not just about aesthetics. This is not a vanity thing,

although you will have positive benefits there as well. The habits and routines

you put into place now will have a large impact on how your body functions in

future decades, especially because of the effects of aging

that start to settle in around the age of 30.

So if you're in your 30s, you may start to notice changes in your skin or your energy levels or maybe you find you don't recover as well or maybe your hangovers are a lot worse than they were in your 20s.

These are all signs of

aging that start to settle in around the age of 30. Now when it comes to how your body

changes every decade after the age of 30 you lose between 3 and 5% of your lean muscle mass and this loss

accelerates around menopause. This means that unless you are training and

eating properly your body composition is changing with each year that passes.

These body composition changes are always reversible and can be improved no matter how old you are,

but trying to add as much lean mass as possible in your 30s

will make your life significantly easier as you age. Many women are concerned

about building lean muscle and tend to rely on these toning

workouts or cardio workouts that really aren't stimulating muscle to a very high

degree. These workouts typically stimulate type 1 muscle fibers,

which are the smaller muscle fibers,

they're your endurance fibers, and they're generally less powerful.
