4 Reasons Resistance Training is Essential for Healthy Aging!

According to a recent study, sarcope­nia (age-related muscle loss) "can begin at around age 35 and occurs at a rate of 1 to 2 percent a year. After age 60, it can accelerate to 3% a year. This means that your daily routines may feel harder to get through, regular tasks may take longer, and you'll probably end up suffering from more soreness, and consistent aches and pains. It can also "hinder your ability to cope with and recover from an illness or injury," the study adds.

RESISTANCE TRAINING can be transformative and can slow down and even reverse the aging process along with many other metabolic health benefits listed below.

1) MAINTAINING MUSCLE MASS - Resistance Training can reverse sarcopenia, improving your body composition, muscular strength and endurance.

2) BONE HEALTH -Resistance training helps improve bone density, reducing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis. For anyone over the age of 50 this is critical, especially women post-menopause. Resistance training is one the best preventative measure against weak and brittle bones.

3) METABOLISM - Resistance training Increases muscle mass and physiologically active tissue. In fact, muscle burns more calories at rest compared to fat. That means you are boosting your metabolism and making it easier to maintain a healthy weight. For anyone struggling with fat loss or insulin resistance this is a huge opportunity to turn things around!

4) MENTAL HEALTH - Resistance training is a confidence booster, stress reliever and a great way to feel strong and capable in your own body. Studies also show that it reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety.
