I set this up during lockdown and realized it was the best investment of my life. #hard and consistent #training routine during a cut is my number 1 priority to ensure I don't lose any #muscle
The Most VITAL Thing As You Age? Maintaining muscle mass. Research shows that people over age 50 lose 1% of their muscle mass per year, which leads to increased risk of falling, increased pain, lower metabolism, and less independence over time.
editing to add: The issue of [#muscle loss is even more important for #women!]
If you're 50+, this guy is a good follow. No hype - just solid info.
Any plans for #today? My #cats will leave for 2 weeks. It's getting cold in #Finland. I will go to the #gym. I've been pleasantly surprised how much strength I still have after all the surgeries made. I had a break in #exercising but I haven't lost much #muscle. E.g. in the back extension machine #PT put 50 kilos' weights for me (110 pounds). And 36 kilos (79 pounds) in the crunch machine. I don't know if that's much for a woman but at least I think so 🤔 #weighlifting#kuntosali#suomimastodon

Let's say that I feel a little pain after doing some exercise I don't normally do....
