Starting Exercise Over 40 Continued #7

One of the things that happens as we age is that we think we have to go at a slow pace. While that is true to start, you don't need to stay there. If you're in good health and built a strong base of fitness, begin to alternate bursts of intense workout with rest periods. You can do 1 minute hard and take 4 minutes of rest. This is a great way to breakup the monotony of your exercise routine as well.
