Preserve your strength now (Infographic)

PHOTO: To you readers over age 30, we’ve got some bad news for you. Chances are good you’ve already begun losing muscle. And it only gets worse. Up to a quarter of adults over the age of 60 and half of those over 80 have thinner arms and legs than they did in their youth.

Do the things you love at retirement.

Having the strength to do the things we love is often taken for granted.

Do playing with grandchildren a the park, travelling the world and even just climbing stairs seem more strenuous? This may be because the body starts breaking down more muscle as we age.

Preserving and building muscle strength is one of the most important things to prepare for retirement. Muscle loss can be slowed down by an active lifestyle and consuming a well-balanced, nutrient-packed diet.


Human skeletal muscle

Skeletal muscle consists of multinucleated fibers formed by the fusion of muscle precursor cells, or myoblasts, during embryonic and fetal development and postnatally until the tissue reaches its adult size. Mature fibers are post-mitotic, meaning they do not divide anymore. As a result, in adulthood both muscle growth and repair are made possible only by the presence of muscle stem cells. [2]

Older adults need a higher intake of good quality protein to help maintain physical function and reduce muscle loss. Many nutrients such as iron, calcium and magnesium as well as Vitamin D are necessary to maintain normal muscle function.

However, as we get older many eat less, do not consume enough protein and are unable to synthesize Vitamin D as well as before. Vitamin D and some minerals are also found in a limited number of foods, making it tough to get enough of these nutrients through a regular diet.

"Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you" (Isaiah 46:4).

"but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:31).

"He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." (1 Corinthians 1:8-9).

There are a lot of things people have preached to you about fitness - that sit ups equal six-packs, cardio burns most calories, and carrying weights will turn you into the Hulk. These so called rules have been repeated so many times that many of us have accepted them as facts, but the truth is, a lot of them isn't.

Myth #1: Strength training will make you huge
Strength training will not bulk you up unless you're on the road to bulking up. Its not easy to bulk up - it requires a diet that will make you bulk up too. Strength training is a great way to burn calories, tone muscles and create and reveal definition.


Resistance training may be intense and can come with some discomfort, pain is not a necessity for a kickass workout. If you are feeling pain, you should stop and seek help from a fitness professional.

Myth #2: No pain, no gain
If you tend to think that if your muscles don't hurt, you're not having a quality workout. This is not the case at all. Resistance training may be intense and can come with some discomfort, pain is not a necessity for a kickass workout. If you are feeling pain, you should stop and seek help from a fitness professional.


While sit ups (crunches) are effective for you to feel the burn, your core workout routine should consist of exercises that challenge the entire abdominal area.

Myth #3: Sit ups are the best move for six-pack abs
While crunches are effective for you to feel the burn, your core workout routine should consist of exercises that challenge the entire abdominal area, including your lower back which helps promote a healthy spine and prevent injury.


It's not the amount of time or the number of days you put into the gym, it's what you're doing while you're there that will have the most impact on your results.

Myth #4: If you can't work out regularly, it's not worth going to the gym at all

Cardio is the best way to burn calories


PHOTO: Cardio is the best way to burn calories
Functional strength training has been scientifically proven to promote healthy muscle building and burn hundreds of calories in as little as 30 minutes.
You finish a strength training workout, your body continue to burn calories and build strength for a full 24 hours.

Myth #5: Cardio is the best way to burn calories
While cardiovascular training on machines has many benefits and should be a part of your workout routine, functional strength training has been scientifically proven to promote healthy muscle building and burn hundreds of calories in as little as 30 minutes. Fun fact: your body will stop burning calories at the pace it was while you were on the cardio machine ten minutes after you get off; however, the second you finish a strength training workout, your body continue to burn calories and build strength for a full 24 hours.


It's not how long you workout, but what you do during that time that counts most. After about an hour, your muscle fibres start to break down, and you need to refuel. High intensity interval workout can accomplish more in a shorter span of time.

Myth #6: The longer you workout, the better
It's not how long you workout, but what you do during that time that counts most. Sure, you can work out for two hours, but how much are you really accomplishing? After about an hour, your muscle fibres start to break down, and you need to refuel. Try a high intensity interval workout and see how much more you can get in a shorter span of time.
