Did you know adults lose more than half a pound of muscle every year after age 30? This muscle loss leads to a 5% reduction in metabolic rate every decade—unless you strength train. This gradual decrease in metabolism is closely related to the increase in body fat that often accompanies aging. Therefore, strength training is critical to unlocking optimal performance because it shapes and defines your body’s composition, boosts your metabolic function, improves your posture, and reduces your risk of injury. In other words, strength training will help you age gracefully.
Join our interactive session, Strength Train to Age Gracefully, where you will learn the importance of strength training and why you should use more than the scale to monitor your progress. You'll also perform strength training exercises that require zero or minimal equipment.
If you are new to strength training, Candice will help you gain the confidence to begin. If you already strength train, she will help you elevate your regimen. Get your athletic clothes and sneakers ready, and let’s start aging gracefully!
