How to Avoid Age-Related Muscle Loss

Fran Patoskie, Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Fascianation Method Practitioner | Nov 29, 2020 | Dec 2020 - Jan 2021, Health

Sarcopenia is age-related loss in muscle mass. Although muscle mass declines 1 to 2 percent per year after age 50, exercise can reduce this loss. Resistance training using bodyweight, machines or weights is the most effective way of building muscle. Sarcopenia makes exercising more difficult, which unfortunately, makes you want to exercise less, contributing even less stimulation of your muscles, leading to more muscle loss.
