Everyone eventually will suffer from sarcopenia, the natural progressive loss of muscle mass. If you start hitting the gym and work with weights you'll have a way better life after your 40s than if you don't.
Ever wondered why there are people in their 70s who can do any daily task, move weights, do any sort of job and need no help in anything? Why is that? How there are people at 60 that need help to even walk?
That's Sarcopenia, the natural loss of muscle mass that happens with ageing, is a common condition that affects 10% of adults who are over 50 years old. In fact, a healthy diet and regular exercise can reverse sarcopenia, increasing lifespan and quality of life.
Doing good muscle training is by far the best healthcare insurance you can do for your body, at any given point of your life, it is never too late to start! From a financial point of view, it will save you so much money from hospitals, doctors, injuries etc, and even if you find yourself in need of surgery, a body with a nice percentage of muscle mass will perform way better during the surgery and will recover faster afterwards!
Bonus fact: a body properly trained needs more calories than one that isn't, basically the more you are fit, the higher percentage of muscle mass you have and the more you can eat because your body naturally burns more to sustain all of those muscles!
Exercise is the best body and mind enhancer there is. I've never met anyone who went to a gym with proper training that did not have a 100% success rate. Not many choices in life offer that rate of success.
In short, hitting the gym and training your muscles against resistance will send the message to your body that it needs muscles, this will prevent the disease known as Sarcopenia which is the progressive loss of muscle by ageing.
However, even simple exercises like walking can slow your rate of muscle loss. At the end of the day, the most important thing is to get active.
So what are you waiting for?
Movement is life. Exercise is the best body and mind enhancer there is. I've never met anyone who went to a gym with proper training that did not have a 100% success rate. Not many choices in life offer that rate of success.
It doesn’t have to be in the gym - any exercise helps!
