Integrating Muscle Building into a Busy Lifestyle
A mental model to help individuals over 40 incorporate muscle-building exercises effectively into their hectic daily routines.
To integrate muscle building into a busy lifestyle, prioritize short, effective workouts that can be done in 20-30 minutes, focusing on compound movements that work multiple muscle groups. Schedule these workouts like an important meeting, treating them as non-negotiable. Utilize resources like resistance bands or bodyweight exercises that require minimal equipment and can be done anywhere. Consider nutrition as a key component by preparing meals in advance and including protein-rich snacks throughout the day. Lastly, remember that consistency is more important than intensity; aim for 3-4 sessions a week and gradually increase the weight or resistance as your fitness level improves.
