In your 20s…
Try HIIT training
Short workouts that don’t need equipment or much space are a fun way to get rid of stress and boost energy.
In your 30s and 40s…
Build strength
Muscle and bone mass decrease from around age 30, so do strengthening exercises such as bodyweight workouts, weightlifting, Pilates and even heavy gardening.
In you 50s…
Go walking
Keep supporting bone health through a weight-bearing activity, such as brisk walking. It’s also great for weight management and mental wellbeing. This can be especially helpful because women can experience anxiety during the menopause.
In you 60s, 70s and beyond…
Boost balance
Low-impact seated or standing workouts that focus on balance, core strength and flexibility. The NHS recommends balance-supporting activities, such as tai chi, at least twice a week.
