Common questions
Is strength training safe after 40?
It's one of the most effective things you can do. Resistance training directly fights muscle loss, bone density decline, and metabolic slowdown. Vora programs it with your joints and recovery in mind.
How does Vora adapt workouts for older athletes?
It picks joint-friendly exercises, keeps volume in check, programs regular deload weeks, and adjusts intensity based on your recovery data each day.
Should I focus on cardio or strength after 40?
Both. The research is clear that combining resistance training with Zone 2 cardio gives you the biggest benefit for longevity. Vora programs both into your week.
How much protein do I need after 40?
Your body gets less efficient at using protein with age, so you need more of it. Vora typically sets targets at 1.6 to 2.2 g/kg, which is higher than the general recommendation.
