Every age group needs a different workout
Yes, it does. Not every year, but after 10 years, the body changes, and you will feel different and want to add or change your exercise routine. Maybe you neglected some training type and did another one too much. You will actually feel what is good for you and how to train as you age.
There are many life stages where you feel a change in your condition, strength, mobility, and stamina. It also depends if you did exercise all your life or start later and have to build up your routine. Those who exercise regularly will feel the changes more gradually and stick to more challenging exercises, but they will feel age after some time.

If you feel tired before the workout or don’t want to do it because there is an ache somewhere in the body, do it anyway. The pace at which you train is one of the most important aspects. It is a good thing to practice every exercise with an awareness of the movement and listen to yourself.
