Last Saturday we packed the studio for our member seminar on The Science of Fat Loss After 65
Huge shoutout to Tom who delivered the amazing seminar who absolutely nailed it on the day, delivering a clear, engaging and genuinely eye-opening session for our members. So proud of the effort and preparation he put in! 👏
Tom walked everyone through the research on why fat loss gets harder as we age, and more importantly, what the evidence says actually works.
Key takeaways on the night:
🧬 Muscle loss accelerates after 65 and less muscle means a slower metabolism around the clock
⚖️ The scale can lie, body weight can stay the same while body fat quietly increases
🏃 Aerobic training alone isn’t the answer cardio only burns calories while you’re doing it, and over time can actually cost you muscle
🏋️ Resistance training is the #1 tool, it raises your resting metabolism 24/7, not just during a session
⚡ Not all cardio is equal, research shows HIIT preserves muscle while achieving the same fat loss as moderate steady-state cardio
