If you’re a women over 30, you should be engaged in regular resistance training.
Why?
Well for one, if we don’t do some kind of resistance training, we lose muscle.
We lose muscle at age 30 until we die if we don’t do something to counteract it.
That process of progressive muscle loss is called sarcopenia.
Resistance exercise — body weight, lifting weight, band work — has been shown to slow age-realted muslce loss. Your muscle is the biggest metabolic organ in your body — it does more than just move our bodies around; it’s essential
that it works properly in order for us to be heatlhy. It also provides all our energy, so when we lose muscle, it speeds up the aging process.
Add to that the hormonal changes that happen as we enter perimenopause and menopause, and resistance exercise should be the foundation of your exercise routine as a
woman.
And it’s not as hard as you think!
