I am wanting to get a bit fitter as I am worrying that I will be losing muscle now and that I am destined for weakness in older age.
I am about to turn 40 and have ended up more sedentary than I ever have been. I used to be quite active before children- running, swimming, gym etc (although not weights, they're alien to me).
I am now a single parent to two small children with no evening childcare, so I can't go out in the evening. My job is full on (desk based) during the day so i can't go to the gym during the working day.
Saturday mornings are getting the kids to their sports, so that's parkrun out.
What can I focus on to improve my fitness and strength and prevent losing strength as much as possible in later years?
I don't have much spare cash so although I would love a PT, it can't happen for a long while. I can't go to the gym and would need a home workout for the evening.
Are there any particular channels I could follow? Any particular routines etc?
Grateful for any help from people in the know.
