🎉 Fun Fact Friday: Men’s Health Edition 🧠💪

Did you know...?

💥 After age 30, men can lose up to 3–8% of muscle mass per decade — and after 60, that rate speeds up! 😱

But here’s the good news:

✅ Just two strength training sessions a week can slow, stop, and even reverse this decline.
✅ Strength training also boosts testosterone, improves heart health, and sharpens your brain. 🧠❤️

Men’s Health Month is wrapping up — but your strength journey is just getting started.

Start now. Stay strong for life. 💯

Maintaining strength and muscle as we age isn’t just about looking and feeling good (although it does help with that) ✨.

It’s about being able to show up with your best self when your best self is needed. Mentally, physically, intergalactically 🧠🏋️‍♂️🚀. Your contributions are important and they matter.

For your family, your friends, your community, and for yourself ❤️‍🔥👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🌍.

Hire a coach, get a gym membership, work out at the park, or maybe just take the first step up from the couch if that is where you’re starting at 🛋️➡️.

A step toward the best version of yourself is a step in the right direction ✅.

May the 4th be with you, and may you do whatever is in your ability to be able to bring your best the next time it’s needed 💪⭐️
