Why Building Muscle Should Be a Top Priority

Have you ever thought about losing weight or burning fat? Of course, you have. But how often do you think about building muscle?

If you're like most people, muscles don't cross your mind until you're lifting something heavy or trying on a swim suit. But here's a surprising fact: Building muscle isn't just about looks. It's closely linked to your overall health and the aging process.

7 Reasons to Start Building Muscle Now

1. Muscle Loss Starts at Age 30

   Believe it or not, people start losing muscle around age 30, losing between 3%-8% per decade. This rate increases after age 60. The sooner you start building your muscle "bank," the better. Muscle loss is a leading cause of disability in older adults, making them more prone to falls and injuries.

2. Stronger Bones

   Many people begin losing about 1% of their bone mass each year after age 40. Strength training stresses your bones in a healthy way, boosting bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures as you age.

3. Manage Chronic Conditions

   Weightlifting can reduce symptoms of arthritis, chronic pain, heart disease, depression, diabetes, and obesity.

4. Aids in Fat Loss

   If you're trying to lose weight, strength training is essential. It helps you retain and even build muscle as you get leaner.

5. Sharper Thinking

   Studies link regular strength training and aerobic exercise with improved brain function.

6. Improved Quality of Life

   Everyday activities become easier, starting immediately. Plus, strength training can enhance your balance and protect your joints from injury.

7. Better Balance

   Strength training helps prevent slips and falls now and as you get older. Plus, toned muscles boost your confidence and energy levels!
