Even in your twenties, you’ll need four days of cardio exercise for about 20 – 30 minutes each time. The elliptical machine is a great way to get that cardio workout, and the best part is you can watch TV or even read a book or magazinewhile you’re doing it!
3. Weight Training

Even in your twenties, weight training is a fabulous idea to tone and strengthen your muscle groups. You only need weight training three times a week to tone and trim muscles, but if you’re trying to bulk up (you might!) then increase your training to five days a week.

Incorporating free weights and machines into your routine enables targeted development of various muscle groups. Start with lighter weights to master form and progressively increase to challenge your muscles. Remember, consistency and proper technique are crucial to avoiding injury and maximizing benefits. Rest days are just as important for muscle recovery as the workouts themselves. Combining weight training with cardio and flexibility exercises will ensure a well-rounded fitness regimen that promotes not only muscle growth but also overall health. Embrace the empowerment that comes with getting stronger and redefine what it means to be a fit woman in your prime.
4. Running/Jogging

If you’re in your twenties, then your knees and ankles are probably still in good enough condition that you can runand jog for a cardio workout. Be sure to invest in a good pair of shoes designed just for running, and go all out!
What you choose to wear while working out can have a significant impact on your comfort and performance. One essential item is the sports bra. Lack of proper support can lead to discomfort and muscle tissue damage. Choosing a good sports bra can help prevent these problems and ensure a great workout!
5. Yoga

You’ll be amazed at how good of a workout you can get from a once-weekly step aerobics class. The key to any good workout, according tomy personal trainer, is that if you’re still able to chat with your neighbor, then you’re not working out hard enough. You want to be a little out of breath…
