Resistance Training Reverses Aging Damage in Muscles

This is old news. We’ve known this for years; and in fact the study that this article is discussing dates back to 2007.

I’ve said this before but it’s worth stating again: Muscle health is the key defining factor to how we age. If we take care of it, we are healthier because of it; if we neglect it, there will be negative consequences. The good news is that even if we’ve neglected our muscle health for a number of years, it’s never to late to start training and to start to see and feel the benefits from healthier, stronger muscles.

As the study suggests it only takes 2 (short) challenging, full body resistance training workouts per week to make dramatic (and far lasting) results. This study was short term (only 6 months); imagine what a couple of years of consistent resistance training can do!

Take a look at the article (link is below in blue) and leave some comments on your thoughts or your experiences with your healthy muscle mass as a result of ‘lifting’ here at One to One.
