Use it or lose it<\/strong><\/p>\n

Muscle mass naturally diminishes with age. If you don\u2019t do anything to replace the lean muscle you lose, you\u2019ll increase the percentage of fat in your body, and this process is called Atrophy and is just a result of aging. But strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass \u2014 at any age.<\/p>\n

Strength or Resistance training is you performing an exercise when you have to generate force (use your muscles) to push, pull or lift something. The \u2018something\u2019 can be your own bodyweight, a machine weight, free weights such as dumb bells or kettlebells or something like a resistance band; what you start with depends on where you are staring from!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
