THE 5 BEST GYMNASTICS EXERCISES FOR SENIORS   When it comes to training, most experts agree that it is important to be active, regardless of age; and even more especially for those entering their fifties. Indeed, the more we advance in age, the more the body tends to lose its vigor or to deteriorate if it is not correctly stimulated.

Get started: take on one of these fitness challenges and transform your body! Indeed, if you want to have a “woman fitness” body, it is better to focus on bodybuilding and circuit training. Have you ever tried Body Pump group lessons? Usually, a majority of gyms offer these classes. Even if they are far from the panacea, if the teacher does his job well you learn the basic bodybuilding movements and he corrects you, that's already taken. If you live in a big city, you could also try a CrossFit gym, where "result oriented" support is included in the membership. But CrossFit gyms are generally more expensive than regular gyms.

And all this without traumatizing your body or your little tenant. Many activities like running or weight training are fi...
