When you pass the age of 40, along with your metabolism slowing to a snails pace and all the hormones start declining, bones become weaker, etc. your biological age starts to speed up and its busy aging faster than your chronological age. For every year that goes by you age up to about 6 months of extra age. So when you turn 42 your body is turning 43. That is scarey. But don't run out and start doing heavy cardio exercises for that is the worst you can do. It does nothing to slow the aging process down. Instead it breaks down the muscles and the production of those nasty little things called free radicals.They accelerate aging and damage cells. You want to find ways to get those hormones working again. Do some yoga. This works the entire body. And check into metabolic training. The more muscle you activate at the same time the better. For both men and women testosterone is the lean-muscle building hormone. So you need to do exercises that will trigger this in your body. An elevated heart rate and insufficient recovery or tighter resistance and less rest time does the job.
