Even if you did not do too much sport so far and you are just starting or if you have already settled for a sport routine, check out some of the sport routines that 40s agree with. 🙂
If you already practice fitness routine, then you can add to your weekly program some different practice to improve your flexibility, mobility, coordination, etc. That is, if you are not doing it already.

Is the one that doesn’t push you too much, that doesn’t take your breath away, such as swimming, walking, cycling, rowing, etc.

Yoga is the perfect reunion between body, mind and spirit. As practice, yoga is a good way to start to move, especially if you don’t have such significant previous sport experience. It combines physical postures, breathing techniques and meditation or relaxation.

Pilates moves tend to target the core, although the exercises work also other areas of the body. You can do Pilates with or without equipment and expect slow and precise movements and breathe control. Pilates offers many benefits to the body, no matter your fitness background.
