HEALTH TIP #6: Prevention of muscle loss?

Exercise plays a huge role in the prevention of muscle loss. Did you know that sedentary adults lose 6-10 percent of their muscle mass per decade after age 30, leading to a condition called sarcopenia. Doing strength training twice a week can delay or in some cases reverse this trend.

Here are a few easy ways to increase or maintain your muscle mass:

1-      Start or end your day with push-ups (as many as you can do)

2-      Use the stairs whenever possible

3-      Perform a few squats before sitting down on your office chair

 

Remember, you don’t need to go to the gym to maintain your muscle mass. You can increase or maintain your muscle mass by doing exercises like the ones mentioned above, or by doing a short 10-15 minute training circuit with inexpensive resistance bands.

When it comes to muscle, you must use it or you will lose it!
