Around the age of 40 we lose muscle mass. Why do you care? Because muscle is, in part, what helps keep your balance, keeps you moving, your metabolism rolling, and it even helps roll back the aging process. So why should you care about strength training if you're not yet 40? Because any muscle mass you build before then will only help you before you reach the age of 40. You may feel like I'm always talking about strength training, well there is a reason for that. The health benefits of strength training are significant. There's no need to become a body builder, but having at least two days set aside for a full body strength training routine will help you reap amazing benefits, including clothes fitting better, more energy, better sleep at night, and a revved up metabolism for up to 24-48 hours after you workout!
So to build some muscle mass try the 100, 100, 100 challenge; 100 squats, 100 push-ups, 100 Mt. Climbers. Enjoy the burn!
