Not only for those over 50 - these are great exercises to add to your program.

'Kristen Hislop adds, “Bodyweight training is a great way to assess your progress. Just be sure to keep the focus on form versus just trying to lift a heavy weight. After 50, a huge part of your focus should be on form and a full range of motion. Being able to complete an exercise in the full range of motion means we have mobility in the joints being utilized. Being stronger than 90% of your peers is a nice bragging right, but our goal should be to get 100% of people over the age of 50 strength training and doing cardio.'

Experts reveal 4 key bodyweight exercises that show you're stronger than 90% of your peers after 50—no equipment needed.

⚡️ Safety Tips if You Get Caught Running in a Thunderstorm

1️⃣ Seek Shelter Immediately

Safest: a building or fully enclosed vehicle.

Avoid taking shelter under isolated trees or small structures.

2️⃣ Avoid Open Spaces

Stay away from fields, hilltops, ridgelines, and wide-open areas where you’re the tallest object.

3️⃣ Get Off Trails with Metal

Move away from metal fences, poles, and railings, which can conduct electricity.

4️⃣ Ditch Electronics

Stop using wired headphones; store electronics in your running belt or pack.

5️⃣ Stay Away from Water

Avoid lakes, rivers, puddles, or wet ditches, as water conducts electricity.

6️⃣ If You Can’t Find Shelter:

Crouch low with feet together on the balls of your feet.

Avoid lying flat on the ground.

Minimize contact with the ground while reducing your profile.

7️⃣ Wait It Out

Stay sheltered for at least 30 minutes after the last thunder sound before resuming your run.
