Staying active after 50: why it's important

After 50, the body begins to work a little differently, and this is natural. To feel good and not lose the usual freedom of movement, it is important to maintain activity - both physical and general lifestyle. Activity helps maintain muscle strength, especially those that support important parts of the body, such as the pelvic floor. This helps to feel confident and comfortable every day. Also, joint mobility makes it easy to perform routine tasks - from walks to housework. When a person stays active, they feel more energy, get less tired and sleep better. This has a positive effect on mood and overall well-being. Even small changes in the regimen - regular simple exercises, more movement, proper nutrition - can make a big difference. Why it's important: • To feel energetic and have the strength to do the things you love; • To avoid discomfort and maintain freedom of movement; • To maintain a good mood and lightness in the body; • To maintain self-confidence and not be dependent on others. Even if you're not very active right now, it's never too late to start taking care of yourself. Healthy habits will help you live a full and joyful life every day.

Exercises for men 50+: how to keep your body in shape

As you age, it’s important to maintain regular exercise to help maintain strength, flexibility, and comfort in your body. Exercises that strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which are responsible for controlling and supporting your internal organs, are especially beneficial. It’s also important to pay attention to your joint mobility and overall fitness. Below are some simple exercises you can do at home without any special equipment. They won’t take much time, but they will help you feel better and stay active.

Kegel exercises

These are the basic exercises for strengthening the pelvic floor. How to do it: ▪️ Imagine that you want to stop urinating. Squeeze the muscles responsible for this. ▪️ Hold the tension for 5 seconds. ▪️ Relax for 5 seconds. ▪️ Repeat 10 times. Recommendations: ▪️ Do the exercises 2-3 times a day. ▪️ It may be difficult to feel the right muscles at first - try doing the exercise lying down, then move to a sitting or standing position.

Easy squats

Maintains leg strength and joint mobility. How to do it: ▪️ Stand up straight, feet shoulder-width apart. ▪️ Slowly squat down as if you were sitting in a chair, keeping your back straight. ▪️ Lower until your knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle. ▪️ Return to the starting position. ▪️ Do 10-15 repetitions. Recommendations: ▪️ Do the exercise slowly and without sudden movements. ▪️ If it is difficult, use support (chair, wall).

Circular movements of the pelvis

Helps warm up the pelvic muscles and improves blood circulation. How to do it: ▪️ Stand straight, feet shoulder-width apart. ▪️ Make slow circular movements with your pelvis back and forth and to the sides. ▪️ Do 10 movements in each direction. Recommendations: ▪️ Perform the exercise smoothly, without tension.

Stretching for the back and hips

Improves flexibility and relieves tension. How to do it: ▪️ Sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you. ▪️ Slowly bend forward towards your toes without dropping your head and hold the position for 20-30 seconds. ▪️ Return to the starting position and repeat 3 times. Recommendations: ▪️ Do not make sudden movements, listen to your body.

Paweł Zieliński, Nutrition Specialist for Men 50+

"For over 12 years, I have been working with men, helping them stay healthy and active after the age of 50. Most often, my clients notice that with age, muscles weaken, joints become less flexible, and energy is less. That is why I always emphasize regular physical activity and pelvic floor support - simple Kegel exercises and special gymnastics can significantly improve body control and well-being. In addition, it is important to pay attention to joint health, a balanced diet and natural means of supporting the body. In my recommendations, I combine scientific data and practical experience so that men can remain strong, resilient and self-confident. My goal is to show that after 50 years, life does not end, but on the contrary, becomes an opportunity for new achievements, activity and good health. With the right approach, even small daily changes bring tangible results."

Don't ignore your body's signals — fatigue, swelling, or changes in how you feel are worth noticing.

Meals should be regular, balanced and without strict restrictions.

Vitamins and supplements are a support, not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.

A consultation will help you better understand what is right for you in your situation.
