Keep Your Muscles Mass

Did you know that between the ages of 20 and 80, the average person can lose up to 40 percent of their muscle mass?

Keep Your Muscles

Because muscles burn more calories per day than fat. Muscle loss and body fat gain appear to go hand-in-hand. To limit the amount of muscle mass lost as you age, make sure to include free weights and/or weight machines in your fitness program. Their use can slow muscle loss and even build additional muscle. It helps keep the softies away.
