Because of the threat of heart disease, many men focus solely on cardio.

This is big mistake because as we age, we lose muscle mass and strength training is critical for hanging on to as much muscle as possible.

And better muscle mass actually improves those cardio workouts.

Plus, strength training is important to help stay active and able to perform every day activities much longer into old age.

Sticking to a workout that is too easy is another big mistake.

Many people reach a point where they are mindlessly performing each exercise, just going through the motions.

But this really provides little benefit because muscle and joint training require effort in order to reap any reward from exercise.
