5 moves to help your body keep showing up — now and years from now
Let’s be honest:
Your 20s were fun, chaotic, and invincible.
Your 30s? Welcome to early recovery mode — where random soreness comes standard and your joints start throwing shade. 😅
But this isn’t about decline. It’s your upgrade decade — the perfect time to train for energy, mobility, and strength that lasts.
1️⃣ Muscle Is Your Metabolic Power Plant
After 30, you naturally lose muscle unless you work to keep it.
Lifting weights isn’t about “getting jacked” — it’s about staying functional.
Start with 2 sessions a week. Dumbbells, bodyweight, resistance bands — all wins. 🏋🏾♂️🧱
2️⃣ Mobility > Maxing Out
You don’t need PRs — you need to bend, twist, and get off the floor without drama.
Daily stretching, dynamic warmups, and full range of motion = 🔑.
Foam roller + 10 minutes = better than ibuprofen. 🧘🏽♀️🦵
3️⃣ Sleep Is Your Secret Weapon
Your 30s are the decade of burnout... or the decade of balance.
Fixing your sleep fixes your hormones, cravings, energy, and recovery.
8 hours isn’t lazy — it’s level-up mode. 💤🔋
4️⃣ Your Joints Called. They Want a Cushion.
Collagen, healthy fats, and strength training protect cartilage and joints.
Running’s cool, but don’t skip strength + mobility work. 🦴🛠️
Add low-impact movement like swimming, walking, yoga — your knees will throw you a party.
5️⃣ Consistency > Intensity
You don’t need brutal workouts. You need regular ones.
Don’t underestimate “just showing up.” Even short workouts stack over time.
Think habits, not hacks. 📆💪🏽
