Tevia Celli, indoor cycling instructor, has some tips for those who want to become more resilient at age 50+.
Do cardioregularly. This type of exercise is very important for strengthening the lungs and heart. Cardio also improves blood circulation.
Increase the load gradually. Start with moderate levels of intensity and duration of training.
Don't forget about high-intensity interval training. Research shows that they maximize physical performance, improve oxygen consumption and increase endurance.
Include strength exercises in your training program. They are needed to build muscle mass.
Eat a balanced diet. Make sure your diet has enough protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats.

Drink enough water. Dehydration leads to fatigue and decreased stamina.
Warm up and cool down. This stimulates blood circulation and muscle function, helps muscles recover, and reduces fatigue.
Rest and recover. Rest increases stamina and improves overall well-being.
Establish a connection between your mind and body. Practice meditation and deep breathing for this.
Seek professional help. It is generally useful to train with a professional.
