A once-weekly online video bodyweight resistance training program significantly reduces body fat mass and improves muscle strength and quality of life in middle-aged men.
If you are a middle-aged man who finds it hard to find time for exercise, try a 45-minute bodyweight workout once a week. You don't need weights or a gym. Focus on exercises like push-ups, squats, and bridges. Doing this online can help you stay consistent. This approach has been shown to reduce body fat and improve strength and quality of life.
The once-weekly online video bodyweight resistance exercise program could be beneficial for body mass, muscular strength, and quality of life among middle-aged men.
