Tuesday's Fun Fact:
We lose an average of 5 percent of our muscle mass every 10 years after the age of 35—if we don't do anything about it.
🤱 Historically, hunters, gatherers, and carriers of children needed their muscular strength until they were about 35 when kids were able to walk and younger tribesmen could hunt. But after they turned 35, their bodies didn't require them to have muscle, so their bodies adapted and allowed for that gradual loss.
⚖️ Today, we see drastic effects when we lose muscle: We gain weight.
🏋️♀️ If you don't intentionally rebuild muscle through exercise, you'll need to eat 150 to 450 fewer calories every day every 10 years to maintain your current weight. So if you're at a stable weight at age 35 and didn't do any kind of resistance training, while still eating the same amount of food, you'll gain weight.
What are you going to do about it?
Not sure where to start? I post a new workout calendar in my CleverFit group every week. All you need is dumb bells and b***y bands. What are you waiting for? You aren't getting any younger 😘
