After 40, I need you to stop thinking about exercise ONLY as a way to burn calories. We're playing a much bigger game now.
MUSCLE. MATTERS.
As we age, maintaining muscle becomes increasingly important for:
💪🏾 Strength
🦴 Bone health
🚶🏾♀️ Mobility
⚖️ Balance
🔥 Metabolic health
🏋🏾♀️ Body composition
❤️ Healthy aging
🙌🏾 Independence
Because fitness isn't just about what your body looks like.
Can you carry your groceries?
Lift your luggage?
Get off the floor?
Climb stairs comfortably?
Maintain your independence as you get older?
THAT is fitness too.
And ladies...
No. Lifting weights isn't going to accidentally make you "bulky."
If building significant muscle happened that easily, everybody who wandered past the dumbbell rack twice would be entering a bodybuilding competition. 😂
Your workouts should be preparing your body for the life you want to continue living. Not just helping you chase a smaller number on the scale.
I broke down muscle loss, metabolism, strength training, progressive overload, protein, recovery, and more in my latest NutriHub Journal article.
