Why ages 35-45 matter for your health 3n6yh

Dr Wright emphasised that proactive health measures during this decade can help preserve strength and mobility later in life. She said it is a pivotal time for maintaining physical health, addressing hormonal changes, and making impactful lifestyle choices that can shape your future well-being. 

She said, “Between 25-45 is a critical decade to get your s*** together. We are peaking out on our muscle. We are peaking out on our bone, and we still have our hormones – men and women. We still have an active contribution.”

Dr Wright recommends this fitness regimen 5y4w38

1. Base training at Zone 2 heart rate for 45 minutes, 3 to 4 times a week.

2. High-intensity interval training for 30 seconds (treill, rower, assault bike, alpine), rest and recover. Repeat 4 times, twice a week.

3. Lift heavy – 4 power lifts, 4 sets. 1-2 reps in reserve. When you finish, you know that you could have done 2 more reps with good form before failing.

She added, “Every workout needs to start with a dynamic warmup, where, depending on whatever activity you are doing you're warming up every muscle group and every t that you're going to use... I walk for 15 minutes every time before I lift... a dynamic warmup, where it's hip rotations, it's inchworms, it's deep squats.”
