This becomes especially relevant as the body\u2019s recovery and metabolic response naturally change with age,\u201d described Goyal.<\/p>\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>Her routine also reflects the growing understanding that workouts should support longevity and sustainability. \u201cIntense routines that cannot be maintained long term often lead to burnout, whereas balanced fitness practices are more likely to become lifelong habits.\u00a0Nutrition and recovery remain equally important alongside exercise. Adequate protein intake, hydration, sleep, and micronutrients all contribute to muscle repair, energy balance, and overall recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;border: 0;border-radius: 3px;margin: 1px;max-width: 540px;min-width: 326px;padding: 0;width: calc(100% - 2px)\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DX1g7e5jCxE\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fitness is not just about looking fit.
