Exercise is crucial for maintaining muscle, bone, and joint health as we age, but experts stress that smart training matters more than intensity. Many adults make the mistake of repeating younger workouts, focusing only on visible muscles, or skipping strength training, which can cause pain, injury, and stalled progress. Fitness professionals recommend non-mirror training, progressive strength work, proper warm-ups, mobility exercises, and recovery days to ensure long-term functional fitness and injury prevention.
