Programmes for over 40’s

    Hi folks

    i apologise if this has been asked a million times but I need help.

    I’m a 42 year old male’ 6”2’ and weigh 18.5 stone. I’ve always had a big frame, well built but not hench. Over the last year I haven’t really been a regular at the gym but I still play soccer. In that time I’ve piled on a stone and a half, as a result of this I’m starting develop health issues due to my weight, I also feel that my mental health is taking a pounding and I may be suffering with depression because I feel so low about myself.

    I’ve been back at the gym for a month now doing mostly weights but I feel like I’m just treading water.

    I promise I’m not looking for a magic quick fix answer because it’s the new year and I’m thinking of the summer, I know there’s a lot of work to do, and I know it won’t be easy, I feel that I’m running out of time to get in to a shape I can be proud of.

    so I just need some recommendations on training programs that people in their 40’s have tried and felt they had positive results from, I would like to lose weight but also build muscle.


    any help would be massively appreciated


    cheers

    Magic fix = Water only fasting 2-4 days on a weekly basis, followed by nutritionally dense diet, especially if you are over 40s.

    Benefits:

    • Improvement in metabolism and muscle build (if exercising) -
    • Improved Memory
    • Increased Stem Cell Reserves
    • Higher Energy Levels
    • Decreased Inflammation
    • Anti-Aging
    • Reduces oxidative stress
    • Rebuild of immune system
    • Weight Loss and God knows how many more...
