YOU SEE IT in Tom Brady and Roger Federer, who competed into their 40s. In Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James, still dominating in their fifth decades. You even see it at your local gym, where grizzled veterans hang with meatheads half their age. Which raises the question: What do they know\u2014and how can the rest of us stay strong and athletic decades from now?<\/p>\n
First, the sobering science: We all get weaker, slower, and stiffer. Starting around age 30, we lose muscle mass at a rate of 3 to 8 percent per decade, and muscle strength at about twice that rate. Most precipitous is our loss of power\u2014the explosive combination of speed and strength.<\/p>\n
Cardiovascular fitness declines steeply as well, resulting in reduced stamina. Compounding all these issues is the inevitable accumulation of wear and tear on joints, cartilage, and connective tissue, which limits full-body mobility. With each passing decade, the rate of loss of all these qualities increases. Building fitness starts to feel like running up a down escalator.<\/p>\n
But research shows we can slow these changes dramatically\u2014extending not just lifespan (how many years you live) but healthspan (living those years free from disability) if we train intelligently. It means recategorizing mobility from \u201coptional\u201d to \u201cessential.\u201d Subbing out exercises on your strength menu that have started doing you more harm than good. Adding some dedicated explosive work. Getting serious about cardio. And above all, learning to listen to your body more sensitively as you age, so injuries never sideline you. That\u2019s the art of durability.<\/p>\n
Athletes like 40-year-old hoops icon Chris Paul, 57-year-old trainer Bill Maeda, and 82-year-old triathlete Robert Plant have all made subtle but critical shifts over time. All have maintained elite performance, even after major injuries.<\/p>\n
The adjustment, says Mike Boyle, owner of Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning, is straightforward: \u201cAs you age, the ingredients change\u2014but the recipe stays the same.\u201d Hill sprints become air bike intervals. Bench presses become standing cable presses. One thing stays constant: a focus on the three pillars of durable fitness\u2014strength, power, and endurance\u2014and the discipline to check your ego at the gym door. Here\u2019s your road map.<\/p>\n

Extend Your Peak<\/p>\n
How basketball icon CHRIS PAUL evolved his training to endure 21 years in the NBA.<\/p>\n
IN A LEAGUE OF GIANTS, Chris Paul built a Hall of Fame\u2013worthy r\u00e9sum\u00e9 at just six feet tall. Rookie of the Year. Twelve-time All-Star. Eleven All-NBA teams. Second all-time in assists and steals. In his second-to-last season, he played all 82 games. How\u2019d he pull it off?<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t luck. Over two decades, Paul endured hand surgeries, foot issues, thumb problems, shoulder setbacks, and a pair of hamstrings that stubbornly refused to stay strung\u2014the kind of tweaks that erode both cartilage and confidence. Paul thrived in the league by doing exactly what all of us need to do as the decades pass: He evolved.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a time before a game I was praying to God I didn\u2019t get hurt,\u201d says Paul, 40. \u201cI got to a point when I was almost scared to go for the ball.\u201d That hesitation is familiar to anyone who\u2019s wrenched a knee or strained a back: You don\u2019t just lose strength\u2014you lose trust. \u201cThe best way to play is to be free of thought,\u201d Paul says. \u201cThat\u2019s everything.\u201d Regaining that freedom required a late-career tactical shift.<\/p>\n
Like many athletic guys, Paul spent his youth attacking the weights with intensity above all. But in 2018, after yet another hamstring injury, he began working with trainer Donnie Raimon, a former Navy SEAL who approached his body like a systems engineer. At the time, Raimon was building a rep among NBA players as a go-to guy for injury prevention. Instead of adding more weight, they started by examining alignment, mobility, and joint mechanics.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour feet are literally your foundation,\u201d says Paul. \u201cYou could have a dope house with artwork and pianos, but if the foundation isn\u2019t good, the house is going to crumble.\u201d So his workouts begin there, with Raimon mobilizing Paul\u2019s toes, arches, and ankles. Then his hips, his spine\u2014and his quads and hip flexors, using a brutal mobilizer known as the couch stretch. \u201cI won\u2019t play basketball without doing this stretch,\u201d Paul says. \u201cThe first thing that gets tight for me\u2014it\u2019s the quads.\u201d<\/p>\n
![\"Person](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ea5c404f-7159-4792-b861-99dd6f24c7d9.jpg\" "\\"Person")
<\/p>\n
Clayton Cotterell<\/p>\n
Another big lesson: Staying healthy is equally about what you do when you aren\u2019t in the gym. \u201cThe first thing Donnie gave me was this back pillow,\u201d says Paul. \u201cIf you see me going anywhere now, I\u2019ve got this little gray pillow that reminds me to sit upright. So if I\u2019m sitting in a restaurant, driving in the car, I\u2019ve got the pillow.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not glamorous. But it restores something more valuable than brute strength: pain-free movement. \u201cIn Houston, I had a trainer that had been with me for a while and things just weren\u2019t working out,\u201d he says. Paul was plenty strong, but he couldn\u2019t move easily\u2014and his daily life suffered. \u201cI wasn\u2019t comfortable running around playing with my kids in the backyard.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a common misstep for gymgoers\u2014losing sight of the fact that exercise should make you feel and perform better. If it has the opposite effect, it\u2019s time for a change. \u201cWhen your joints aren\u2019t aligned,\u201d Raimon explains, \u201cit\u2019s like driving a car with the wheels out of alignment. Something\u2019s going to wear out early.\u201d For aging lifters, that\u2019s the lesson: mechanics first, strength second.<\/p>\n
Today, Paul\u2019s workouts<\/a>blend mobility, core work, and controlled strength training. Some sessions are toned down to focus on his long-term function and can look and feel more like pilates or yoga performed with barbells. But other times, it\u2019s heavy. \u201cWe don\u2019t have to worry about toning down leg day because he has a game tomorrow,\u201d says Raimon. On leg days, Paul comfortably pulls 315 on the deadlift.<\/p>\n The core work emphasizes resisted rotations and anti-rotation drills\u2014functional moves that force the trunk to stabilize while the arms and legs move forcefully. \u201cA guy who used to work on my body always said, \u2018Train to be an athlete, not to be a basketball player,\u2019 \u201d Paul says.<\/p>\n That may be his most transferable insight. After 40, you can still look and perform exceptionally\u2014but you\u2019ve got to broaden your focus. In addition to mirror muscles and bench press numbers, you need to give equal time to the boring stuff: Mobility. Stretching. Form.<\/p>\n Do that, says Paul, and you\u2019ll not only stay competitive on the boards and in the boardroom, but keep pace with the people who matter the most. These days, he says, \u201cI want to go play golf with my brother and my dad. I wanna go shoot around with my son and my daughter. I wanna race somebody if they say they wanna race.\u201d<\/p>\n Recently, on an off day, he says, he was playing a game with his wife, Jada, and their two teenage kids that required them to bend down and grab a paper bag off the floor with their teeth\u2014no hands allowed.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I\u2019m thinking to myself, The only reason I got a chance is because I lift,\u201d he says. It\u2019s funny, until you consider how many 40-year-old men would tweak their back trying the same thing. That ability to drop into a deep hinge. To control your body. To move without pain or hesitation. That\u2019s durability. It\u2019s about extending your peak and reshaping it so that strength shows up where you actually live.<\/p>\n Upgrade Your Foundation<\/p>\n To build and maintain max strength and speed in your 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond, try these tactics.<\/p>\n Build Strength From The Ground Up<\/p>\n Give your dogs more love. Before you squat or run, make sure your toes, arches, and ankles are warmed up. Barefoot balance drills, trigger-point work with a tennis or lacrosse ball, and ankle mobility work can improve alignment all the way up the chain. If the foundation\u2019s off, everything above it pays the painful price.<\/p>\n It\u2019s Mechanics Over Muscle<\/p>\n Hire a trainer (or, failing that, film your lifts) to track your form, especially on big-ticket moves like the deadlift and squat. If your back rounds in a deadlift or your knees cave in a squat, fix that before adding load. Think: mechanics first, strength second. Lift heavy when it makes sense, but don\u2019t let ego dictate the load. Leave three reps in reserve.<\/p>\n Treat Mobility Like a Main Lift<\/p>\n Tight hips and quads don\u2019t just limit performance; they alter how you move through life. Make daily mobility nonnegotiable, especially for hip flexors, quads, spine, and ankles. Key moves for dudes seeking durability: 30\u201360 seconds each of downward-facing dog, backward lunges, couch stretch, cobra, and World\u2019s Greatest Stretch.<\/p>\n HRV Is a Good Guide to Stress Levels<\/p>\n Heart rate variability (HRV), or the variation in your heart rate at rest, is one metric worth tracking on your Oura, Whoop, or Apple Watch. HRV reflects nervous system stress (it craters with poor sleep, excess exercise, and high stress) and so can reliably indicate when you\u2019re ready for a tough workout and when you should hold back.<\/p>\n Bill Maeda working on his kicks at his private gym in Honolulu.<\/p>\n Forge Staying Power<\/p>\n How 57-year-old trainer BILL MAEDA stays ripped, strong, and ready for anything.<\/p>\n IN THE FLOTSAM of online fitness content, the posts of 57-year-old, Hawaii-based Bill Maeda<\/a> stand out for sheer visual impact. It helps that Maeda looks like something out of a comic book: impressively muscled, but not overbuilt. More than just gym strong, Maeda looks genuinely athletic, as comfortable running and climbing as lifting heavy iron. You wouldn\u2019t want to tangle with him\u2014his heavy-bag workouts are formidable\u2014but you might also think, If I really, really dialed it in, I could look like that too.<\/p>\n Then there are the moves. One day, the six-foot, 195-pound Maeda is doing a pushup on a pair of inverted kettlebells; the next, it\u2019s a 225-pound deficit deadlift on a slant board; the next, it\u2019s burpees in a 45-pound weight vest. You don\u2019t earn 2.2 million followers on Instagram, however, just by being ripped and strong.<\/p>\n The secret sauce to Maeda\u2019s success as a trainer\/influencer\u2014in addition to his chilled-out aloha vibe\u2014is his form. It\u2019s immaculate. Every circus-act move features a slow lift, a pause in the contracted position, and a controlled return to earth, his breathing as deliberate as a yogi\u2019s. In Maeda\u2019s meaty hands, heavy lifting is almost dance-like: effortful, but also graceful and precise, qualities he\u2019s honed over a lifetime of lifting, martial arts, running, and rucking.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t call what I do working,\u201d he says. \u201cI call it practicing. If I do a max deadlift, I have to be able to place that bell down on the floor more precisely than I lifted it.\u201d<\/p>\n Right there is Maeda\u2019s number one rule on how to build muscle and strength as the years roll by: Check your ego. Control the weight. Listen to your body\u2014and train the one you actually have today.<\/p>\n Though Maeda\u2019s feed provides the wow factor that the ultracompetitive influencer space demands, he\u2019s quick to acknowledge that great physiques are built with unflashy exercises, performed in unflashy ways, over long periods. Fanatical focus on the classic, old-school barbell and dumbbell moves: presses, rows, pullups, squats, deadlifts. \u201cI spent 80 percent of my time\u2026training from my sternum down,\u201d he says. \u201cLeg strength, hip strength, and back strength.\u201d Some favorites: barbell squats, Zercher squats, and deficit Romanian deadlifts.<\/p>\n Michelle Mishina Kunz<\/p>\n Maeda\u2019s lower-body emphasis is the inverse of what most bench-and-curl gym bros do, but it\u2019s something every over-50 lifter should take to heart. Research suggests that maintaining strength and power in your lower body\u2014more than your arms and torso\u2014is essential to maintaining health, function, and even cognition as you age. One large study found that strong quads protected against heart disease mortality; another showed that leg strength predicted slower cognitive decline.<\/p>\n Maeda, whose first ambition was to be an Army Ranger, has never been interested in training for appearance alone. \u201cI always wanted to train to fight,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen I\u2019m deadlifting, I\u2019m not lifting a bar; I\u2019m lifting a person.\u201d The taste for usable fitness kept his appetite for adventure and variety keen. Over the years, he\u2019s rucked and hiked all over Hawaii and trained with martial arts legends Erik Paulson and Relson Gracie.<\/p>\n In his 40s, looking for a novel challenge, Maeda did a deep dive into kettlebells. Their thick handles and cumbersome shape demanded new levels of strength from his grip, while the athletic, explosive movements\u2014swings, cleans, snatches, jerks\u2014helped develop another skill that conventional weight training addresses only indirectly: power, or the ability to move not just forcefully but quickly.<\/p>\n Both qualities, it turns out, are closely linked with healthy aging. A major 2024 Italian study found that a weak grip was associated with higher incidence of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, muscle loss, frailty, and even some cancers. And power is crucial for fall prevention and everyday function in older adults\u2014but it erodes quickly if you don\u2019t train it directly. Don\u2019t like kettlebells? No worries. Anytime you move a weight\u2014including your own bodyweight\u2014as fast as possible, that\u2019s power training: Jumps, med-ball throws, Olympic lifts, and agility drills all fit the bill.<\/p>\n Maeda admits he hasn\u2019t always been temperate. \u201cWhen I was going through a rough period with my marriage and finances, I would bury myself in the kettlebells,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s this exercise called the long cycle\u2014it\u2019s a clean and jerk for 10 minutes straight. I would just go to war with myself.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the occasional lapse into excess, though, fitness has been a steadying force amidst business successes and failures, family drama, addiction, and even colon cancer, which he beat years ago. And that\u2019s what he preaches to his clients: not punishment, but durability. \u201cI\u2019m a form guy,\u201d Maeda says. \u201cI don\u2019t take a drill instructor approach.\u201d<\/p>\n Some clients are even surprised at how manageable his workouts can be at first. \u201cThey might do five sets of one or two reps of a one-inch range-of-motion squat at first,\u201d he says. \u201cThey\u2019re surprised.\u201d But intensity, he adds, is strong medicine\u2014and quickly leads to burnout, especially if you\u2019re over 50. \u201cTen minutes a day adds up if you keep showing up. It\u2019s more important that you make it fun, and make it something you can do again tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n Diversify Workouts<\/p>\n When you\u2019re in your 50s or beyond, you\u2019re in use-it-or-lose-it territory.<\/p>\n Commit to Flexiblity<\/p>\n Mobility losses accrue as you age. Ideally you\u2019re doing dynamic stretches before your workouts (think high-knee marches and walking lunges) and static stretches after (think toe touches and door stretches). Even better: Hit a weekly yoga class on a day you\u2019re not going to the gym. And before bed, foam-roll just two or three muscle groups\u2014less than five minutes of work\u2014as part of your wind-down routine.<\/p>\n Evolve Your Moves<\/p>\n Lifetime lifter or recent convert, a 50-year-old body has quirks and old injuries that make once-safe lifts too risky. Frequent culprits include the barbell squat, deadlift, and bench press. If you can do these moves with no problems, have at it\u2014but if you always wake up with sore shoulders after bench-pressing and always strain your back when you squat, rethink your exercises. Boyle\u2019s rule: If a move causes you post-workout joint pain twice, drop it.<\/p>\n Aim For The Sky<\/p>\n The capacity to move fast\u2014which is dictated by your fast-twitch muscle fibers\u2014is highly associated with long-term independence, but it\u2019s also one of the first physical skills to wane with neglect. Spend five minutes\u2014after you\u2019ve warmed up but before you lift\u2014on movements that require explosive speed: jumps, med-ball throws, agility drills. Keep the volume low (two or three sets of less than eight reps) and the effort sky-high.<\/p>\n Train Your Tendons<\/p>\n Holding a muscle group, and the surrounding tissue\u2014tendons, cartilage, and ligaments\u2014under tension for extended periods, even without max effort, causes these tissues to strengthen. A few times a week, hold a half-pushup, a half-pullup (feet on the floor if necessary), a deep squat, and a lunge (both sides) for 10 to 30 seconds each.<\/p>\n Robert Plant riding near his home in Woodside, California.<\/p>\n GO LOOOOOONG<\/p>\n How 82-year-old triathlete ROBERT PLANT has kept up the pace.<\/p>\n ASK MOST OLDER men about their glory days and they\u2019ll respond with stories from a half-century ago. Not 82-year-old triathlon champion Robert Plant. He\u2019ll regale you with his adventures from the past few years.<\/p>\n About getting blown sideways off his bike on mile 72 of a race in the plains of Texas. (\u201cI broke my vertebrae. My ribs. I couldn\u2019t walk for about three weeks.\u201d) Or the time he finished third in an Ironman\u2014140.6 combined miles of swimming, biking, and running\u2014with a raging case of shingles. (\u201cI was just hoping to finish.\u201d) Or the time he almost froze swimming in the frigid waters of San Francisco Bay in the storied Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon race. (\u201cWhen you get older, it\u2019s harder to stay warm like the young guys.\u201d)<\/p>\n What he probably won\u2019t tell you is that, with 20 National Championships and 10 World Championship wins under his belt, he\u2019s one of the most decorated age-group triathletes in history. That he set a course record at the Ironman World Championship that has stood for eight years. That in 2022, he was inducted into the sport\u2019s hall of fame\u2014one of just a handful of nonprofessionals ever given that honor.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen people ask, I\u2019ll talk about it,\u201d says the affable, impossibly lean Plant. \u201cBut I don\u2019t say, \u2018Guess what I did last year?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n He\u2019s not done yet. Six to nine times annually, he says, he travels to places as far-flung as Abu Dhabi to test his mettle in the sport that\u2019s fascinated him since 1989, when he served as a volunteer at the legendary Iron War between pros Dave Scott and Mark Allen.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m mostly competitive with myself,\u201d he says of what drives him to keep competing in his ninth decade. \u201cIf my buddy beats me, I\u2019m happy for him. As long as I do the best I can, I\u2019m happy.\u201d<\/p>\n This temperate approach applies to his training as well, which, these days, consists mostly of moderate-distance, moderate-intensity swims, bikes, and runs. \u201cI haven\u2019t done really true speed work in a long time, just because there\u2019s a good chance that you could injure yourself,\u201d he says. After a break from strength training during the pandemic, he has started to ramp his efforts back up: \u201cI\u2019m only 130 pounds\u2014normally, fighting weight is 135 with some muscle on,\u201d he says. \u201cSo I\u2019m getting back to that because it makes a big difference, in the legs, especially.\u201d<\/p>\n Clayton Cotterell<\/p>\n It\u2019s a wise choice, and not just for the sake of his running splits. Recent research on older athletes suggests that long-duration cardio exercise, while great for the heart and lungs, is insufficient to guard against age-related decline in strength and muscle. For that, you need strength training.<\/p>\n More than intensity or hardcore hero workouts, however, the key to his success is consistency. \u201cI take one day off a week, whether I feel good or not,\u201d Plant says. \u201cIf I don\u2019t, by Wednesday, I\u2019ll wish I had.\u201d Working away at a sane pace, decade after decade, has given him a broad fitness base that allows him to compete at a high level\u2014sometimes nearly on the spur of the moment. The most cycling he\u2019d done before his last Ironman, he says, was \u201ctwo 40-mile bike rides. And I think I ran 8 miles, maybe 10\u2014once. And so [on race day], I get off the bike and I go, Oh, I\u2019ve got to run 26 miles now.\u201d A half-decade of muscle memory kicked in, however, and Plant ended up on the podium\u2014again.<\/p>\n Competition gives the Woodside, California, resident focus and structure: Unless he\u2019s continually trying to get better as a swimmer, cyclist, and runner, he knows his competitors will overtake him. At his age, that\u2019s a canny approach. Prioritizing performance keeps him focused on how his body is responding to training, ensuring that he neither undertrains nor overtrains. \u201cI listen to my body,\u201d he says. \u201cIf I\u2019m pushing too hard, I back off a little. Otherwise, you get injured\u2014and then you have to start all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n Another perk: Competing in triathlons continually broadens his horizons and guards against the loneliness that afflicts many men over 60. At an age when lots of his peers are slowing down, Plant is packing up his gear for a new locale every few weeks, challenging himself physically while also exposing himself to new places, cultures, and people. \u201cI consider triathlon a big family,\u201d says Plant, who is unmarried and never had children. \u201cRace day comes and everybody has this sense of Okay, we\u2019re going to war. Everyone knows and feels the same way.\u201d Outdoor training and travel also boost mood, lengthen life, and improve memory.<\/p>\n So what does Plant\u2019s enduring success teach us about aging? Are we doomed to decrepitude or can we actually fight it off?<\/p>\n Realistically, you\u2019re unlikely to set personal records in your 80s. \u201cI\u2019m training hard as ever,\u201d Plant jokes, \u201cbut there\u2019s something wrong with my watch.\u201d<\/p>\n The rate of that decline, however, is largely in your hands. A study found that lifelong cross-country skiers in their 80s and 90s had the cardiovascular fitness of college kids. \u201cGuys half my age walk up stairs and are out of breath,\u201d Plant says. \u201cI tell them, \u2018You can do this too.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n Durability, it turns out, isn\u2019t about heroic workouts or defying age. It\u2019s about stacking small, repeatable wins\u2014staying on top of cardio, lifting heavy things regularly, laughing with friends, competing a little, and coming back tomorrow ready to do it again.<\/p>\n Do that often enough and the calendar matters less than you think. \u201cJust get to the next turnaround, the next hill,\u201d says Plant. \u201cI don\u2019t even think about age. It\u2019s not part of my game plan.\u201d<\/p>\n Stay The Course<\/p>\n Four rules for performing your best as you blast through middle and old age.<\/p>\n Train To Keep Training<\/p>\n For lifters over 60, the enemy isn\u2019t laziness; it\u2019s getting hurt. Research on active adults shows that the best predictor of injury is a similar prior injury. So skip the hero workouts, listen to your body, and take rest days seriously.<\/p>\n Find Your Gentle Gear<\/p>\n Slow-and-steady training\u2014where you can hold a conversation\u2014is the real fountain of youth. It burns fat, improves durability, and enhances your ability to bounce back from training. Joints too creaky to run? Take a hike or brisk walk, or skip it and double up on low-impact cycling, swimming, or cardio machines.<\/p>\n Do Single-Leg Moves<\/p>\n Strong legs are a must for healthy aging. But at 60-plus, you may be more vulnerable to injury if you subject your spine to heavy weights. Cut the strain in half\u2014without reducing the intensity\u2014by training one leg at a time. Ditch the leg presses and barbell squats for split squats and step-ups. Work your way to walking lunges, rear-foot-elevated split squats, single-leg Romanian deadlifts, and (if you can handle them) single-leg squats. If an exercise hurts your joints, replace it with a move you can do pain-free.<\/p>\n Make Fitness More Social<\/p>\n Gym work is great, but sports and competition give you structure, friends, and new experiences. Whether it\u2019s pickleball, a cycling club, or a hiking group, shared effort keeps body and mind stimulated and motivated.<\/p>\n This story appears in the Spring 2026 issue of Men\u2019s Health.<\/p>\n Andrew Heffernan, CSCS is a health, fitness, and Feldenkrais coach, and an award-winning health and fitness writer.
