Think sitting too much only affects your weight? Think again. 🛋️⚠️
When you stay inactive for a long time, your muscles think they are no longer needed and start to break down. This is called muscle disuse atrophy, and it can speed up sarcopenia even if you are still young.
The good news? You can fight back with regular resistance training:
💪 Bodyweight exercises like squats, push ups and lunges
🏋️ Weightlifting using dumbbells, barbells or kettlebells
🧘♀️ Pilates to build strength through controlled movements
🏋️♂️ Resistance band workouts for low impact strength training
🧱 Machine based training at the gym like leg press or chest press
Besides training, it is just as important to screen and monitor your progress with InBody so you can catch early signs before it is too late!
