Muscle loss is estimated to be1 -2% annually after age 50 years in concert with 1.5% per year that accelerates to 3% annually after age 60 years.   These losses result in total muscle area of about 40% between 20 and 60 years of age.  These losses are even higher in sedentary individuals and twice as high in men compared to women.  Strength training helps to offset these losses that occur with aging.  I can help devise an appropriate strength training program catered to your specific needs, medical and physical limitations and goals.

What’s it all about?  Simply put- clean eating and exercise!  But what kind of exercise?  Strength or resistance training?  Cardiovascular training?  Slow cardio?  Fast cardio?  I SAY MIX IT UP.  Variety is the spice of life, right?  Here’s a pretty good exercise recipe for most people: strength train 2-3x per week, cardio train for 6 days a a week with 2-3 of those days being short (15-20 mins), but really hard!  You gotta push your limits!  (Only if healthy, though..check with your Doc.)  Rest for 1 day.  And throw in flexibility training to help with recovery….stretching brings blood flow and nourishment to the cells of your body.
