Strengthen
Strengthening your body is the third principle with Plan 40. Being over 40 requires taking time to strengthen your body so you enjoy the exciting years ahead. Taking time out of your day to exercise actually offers you more time because you'll have more energy to enjoy the things you want for many years to come. Since you are balancing your body and eating nutritiously, you aren't going find yourself locked in the gym for hours, hoping to lose that stubborn pound. All it takes is reasonable exercise.
For many women, it may seem overwhelming to start an exercise program, but Plan 40 understands the demands on your time and energy. That's why we have established reasonable exercise guidelines to help you create a program that works for you—your time, your energy, your life. Each exercise plan helps you start where you are to incorporate appropriate intensities of aerobic and resistance training in an optimum ratio for your changing body.
