Good day to you!

Do you ever see videos online of people in their 70s and beyond shooting hoops, bicycling, or busting a move on the dance floor and think, “I want to be that person when I grow up”?

I know I do!

“One of my dreams is to still be able to do a pull-up…

One of the best things you can do to help make that happen is to:

1. Start doing those things NOW (if you aren’t already) and
2. Take care of your muscles by keeping them strong and flexible.

Have you ever heard the saying, “It’s easier to clean a clean house?” 

It seems like a no-brainer, but the same philosophy works with your fitness and health.

It’s so much easier to KEEP your fitness level (and your muscle) than it is to rebuild it. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s never too late to get into shape and gain muscle … you can absolutely do it. It doesn’t matter what your age is. It just takes time, consistency and a little patience.

Anyway … here’s why it’s so important!

When you hit the age of 30, you start losing 3% to 5% of your muscle mass each year. 

Studies even show that over your lifetime you can lose up to 30% of your muscle!

Less muscle = less strength = less balance = more risk of falls and fracture. Not good!

Plus, not only does keeping your muscles healthy improve your strength and quality of life, but it also is an important part of keeping your metabolism revved (i.e., burning fat) as you age.

This is why strength training is so important as you get older! It can help your body retain your muscle, and maybe even reverse the trend.

Here is a video to put on your weekly self-care list to get a jump start on keeping that precious muscle … and helping it stay strong and flexible. 

This will pay off not only now, but decades into the future.
