Did you know…
that one pound of muscle burns three times as many calories as one pound of fat? This is one reason why it’s so important to maintain muscle mass as we age: burning more calories helps keep a healthy weight without significant diet changes. The problem is we lose 3-5% of our muscle in each decade from ages 30 to 60. Yikes!

The fix: strength training. This type of exercise has the biggest impact on helping to keep the muscle that we have (or even add a little extra!). Add in weightlifting, resistance bands, and/or body weight exercises at least 2 times per week. It takes 2-4 weeks to feel a difference and 4-8 weeks to see a difference in muscle tone and/or weight changes, depending on your goals and eating plan. Consistency is key, but positive effects happen in just one month!

Did you know…
that just 10 minutes of exercise per day can have significant health benefits? It can lead to better blood sugar levels and a decrease in insulin resistance. It can help improve cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Short bouts of exercise can even increase energy, increase strength, improve balance, improve sleep, and reduce stress. A study done in 2022 showed that walking for 10 minutes per day can lead to living longer as well!

Great options without needing equipment include walking, chair exercises, going up and down stairs, and body weight exercises. Many streaming services also have workout videos to follow. Schedule your favorite option into the calendar, set a timer, and reap the amazing benefits!
