    Absolutely!
    We all know that as we women get older we lose muscle. Can't get away from that.
    However, we an also take preventative measures to slow it down by strengthening those muscles with weight lifting and cardio exercises for that very important muscle, the heart.
    No matter what age you are, it is never too late to start!

    I am 59 going on 60. One small step at a time. Look for a Strong Women class or classes at a senior center. I biked 16.5 miles yesterday. My son rides ahead and will wait for me up ahead. I bike slower to prevent injuring myself or just sore muscles. Darn that moose that came within 5 feet of nailing me yesterday. Get out and exercise everyday.

    I think there are a bunch of us on here doing just that. I am a little younger but I am also losing more so I am doing both. I am hoping to be slimmer and fitter by 60. So feel free to friend me if you want some support from someone in your generation.
