Now is the time to take control of your fitness. Whether you are juggling your career and family, or enjoying having more time on your hands, you’ll reap huge benefits from focusing on your own well-being. After all, by incorporating various types of exercise into your life, you can lose weight, build muscle, improve bone density and skin tone, and rebalance your hormones and energy, which all will help slow down the ageing process and create a fitter, more energetic you.

“By exercising, you can trick your body into behaving younger,” says beauty expert Tracey McAlpine from Fighting Fifty.

“There’s an exciting correlation between exercising and slowing the ageing process at a cellular level. When we exercise, our brains naturally release human growth hormone (HGH), which normally decreases with age. But by exercising we can stimulate its production, helping us to look and feel younger.

“Aerobic exercise has also been shown to lengthen the life of telomeres, the end ‘caps’ to your DNA,” says Tracey. “When they shorten, your cells age faster. By lengthening them and keeping cells healthy, they perform better.”

While you can’t stop the clock, research shows that you can slow its ticking. just one hour a day of exercise for 12 weeks can give you the cardiovascular and metabolic capabilities of women 16 years younger. Don’t know where to start? We’ve got eight anti-ageing ways to move your body.
