Maintaining fitness after 40 is often focused solely on endurance or traditional lifting, but there is a missing piece that many men overlook: power. Power isn’t just for professional athletes; it’s the ability to react quickly and move with force, which is exactly what keeps your body resilient against injury and age-related decline. When you prioritize explosive movements, you aren’t just building muscle—you’re teaching your nervous system to stay sharp and responsive.
We recently collaborated with Eat This, Not That! to break down why power-based workouts are essential for men over 40. The feature highlights how incorporating “athletic” movements like medicine ball slams and kettlebell swings can help you reclaim the fast-twitch muscle fibers that naturally diminish as we get older.
“Power is the ability to exert force quickly. As men age, they lose power at a faster rate than they lose strength, making power training essential for maintaining a high quality of life.”
If you’re ready to stop feeling sluggish and start feeling like an athlete again, it’s time to change your approach to the gym. Check out the full breakdown to see how our mobile trainers can bring a customized power program directly to your home. Read the full article at Eat This, Not That!.
