Turning 40 doesn’t mean slowing down.
It means training smarter.
Adults in Englewood Cliffs often assume aging automatically means declining strength and metabolism. While natural changes occur, much of what people attribute to aging is actually inactivity.
At VIP Fitness Center serving Bergen County, we help adults over 40 build strength, protect joints, and improve energy safely.
Muscle Loss Is Preventable
After 30, muscle mass gradually declines.
But resistance training can reverse that trend.
Strength training:
-
Preserves lean mass
-
Boosts metabolism
-
Improves insulin sensitivity
-
Enhances bone density
The key is structured programming with adequate recovery.

Training after 40 requires attention to mobility and form.
Warm-ups become essential.
