Losing muscle mass is part of ageing but you can improved with training and healthy diet.
You must be consistent with your training and nutrition. Please don’t get me wrong, building muscle does not mean looking like Hulk.
The expression “If you don’t use it you lose it” is true for muscle.
The older we get, the easier it is to lose muscle mass. Muscle supplies essential fuel and tissue that stores energy and boosts your metabolic rate.
Building and maintaining muscle mass keeps us young and vital. As we age we lose muscle mass easily and underlines what make us sick, old and overweight.
To build and preserve muscle mass you must have a training program designed for you with structure for progressive overload.
If you are going to the gym continuously and your body never changes or improves you probably need some help.
One of the big mistakes I see in the gym is that women do excessive aerobic exercise. They spend hours on the treadmill and even alternating with a bike without any weight training.
Weight training will have the greatest effect on your metabolic rate and generate more muscle mass tissue. The intensity and rest between sets will increase your metabolic rate in the hours after you finished which also will keep burning more calories at rest later on.
To achieve the body you want and keep it you must train your muscles in an appropriate program.
