sarcopenia

Let's face it, we all get a little bit older each year. Research has shown one of the best things you can do for an aging body is to exercise. Regular bouts of strength training, has the potential to prevent muscle loss, increase strength and build additional muscle

We have a tendency to judge how our exercise routine and diet are working by what the bathroom scale reads. But that should not be the only indicator. With each bout of exercise, we are improving various aspects of our physiology and health that may not be visible to the naked eye.

Many bodily changes occur by the time a person celebrates their 70th birthday. These changes happen on a physiological and physical level respectively.

You have probably read in many health and fitness books that building muscle is very important (which is true).

Many younger people engage in strength training for reasons of vanity rather than possible health benefits.

The body is an amazing organism made up of different elements, including various types of tissue, bone, organ and fluid. Two of which, lean muscle and body fat, are discussed most often when it comes to exercise and living a sustainable lifestyle.
