MAINTAIN YOUR MUSCLES

Did you know that muscle burns more calories per day than fat? The
average person can lose up to 40 percent of their muscle mass between
the ages of 20 and 80. Muscle loss and body fat gain appear to go
hand-in-hand. To limit the amount of muscle mass lost as you age, make
sure to include free weights and/or weight machines in your fitness
program. Incorporating weights into your exercise routine can slow
muscle loss and even build additional muscle.
