Most people measure progress in therapy by a change in pain, but progress is so much more than that! It can be measured in so many ways, such as:

- You're back to a meaningful activity in some way.
- You can tolerate activities for longer.
- You are measurably stronger.
- You can perform activities with greater intensity.
- You can do more sets/reps before pain.
- You have developed better health habits.
- You have a greater range of motion/mobility.
- You feel more confident in your body and your abilities.
- You no longer fear pain when it occurs.
- You no longer require the same medication dosage to manage pain.
- You are thinking less about your pain.
- You can manage everything independently at home.
- You are ready to manage a flare-up if it happens.

Don't belittle your progress. ANY progress IS progress!

Muscle strength is closely related to muscle mass, which is also reduced with aging. Between the ages of 40 and 50 years, we can lose 8% of our muscle mass; this loss accelerates to 15% per decade after age 75 years.

"Sarcopenia is the age-associated decline in muscle mass, strength, and quality that begins as early as the fourth decade of life and is a major contributor to poor health and disability in older adults. The progressive loss of muscle mass and the concomitant decline in muscle strength (dynapenia) are associated with a large and diverse group of pathologies including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), frailty and disability, increased risk of falls and fractures, loss of physical independence, cognitive decline and depression, lower quality of life, and all-cause mortality. The etiology of this muscle loss is known to be multifactorial with reductions in activity levels and inappropriate nutrition playing central roles"

Exercise training and proper nutrition can have dramatic effects on muscle mass and strength. An optimal intervention program may include an exercise-training schedule that incorporates both resistance and aerobic exercise with adequate intake of total calories and protein.

Whether your goal is to build muscle, lose fat, improve your fitness, or improve your sports performance, make sure you are doing some form of weight training consistently, so you can age gracefully. There's no such thing as "too old to start!”

When you're healthy, age is just a number.

You can be in your 50s and be healthier than when you were in your 20s because it isn't about your AGE; it's about your HABITS.
