As we get older, strength training becomes more important than ever when it comes to reversing the physical signs of aging. After the age of 30, you naturally lose 3-5% of your muscle mass per decade, an age-related process called sarcopenia. This dramatically accelerates once you turn 60, and the best way to slow this down or reverse it entirely is to do regular strength workouts.
Strength training doesn’t have to mean lifting heavy weights in the gym. Just using your bodyweight for resistance can help maintain and build muscle, boost your metabolism, and protect your bones from conditions like osteoporosis.
