Turning 50 is a significant milestone in life, and it’s a great time to set physical goals to maintain your health and improve your quality of life. Here are five physical goals to consider as you approach your 50s:
Strength training is essential to maintain muscle mass, reduce the risk of injury, and improve bone density. It would be best to aim for at least two days of strength training per week, focusing on all major muscle groups.
Cardiovascular exercises, such as walking, jogging, or cycling, are essential for maintaining heart health. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio exercise per week.
As we age, our muscles and joints tend to stiffen, leading to reduced flexibility. Incorporating stretching exercises into your routine can help maintain flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.
Balance training becomes increasingly important as we age, as it can help reduce the risk of falls. Simple exercises such as standing on one foot for 30 seconds can help improve balance.
Maintaining a healthy diet is crucial for overall health and well-being. Make sure to consume plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains while limiting processed foods and sugary drinks.
Remember to always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions.

Centering your breath is an important practice that can help you reduce stress, improve your focus, and increase your overall sense of well-being. Here are 3 tips to help you center your breath:
Have you caught a coworker or friend saying, “I’m tired!”
Or has your gym buddy recently said to you, “I’m so sore!”
Or have you caught yourself saying in the morning, “I can’t get up, I’m so exhausted!”
I started thinking, why do we say these ‘weakness phrases’ out loud? Are we seeking pity? Or recognition that we accomplished something?
