With a bit of effort, consistency, and proper progressive programming, you will not only improve your fitness level, but you will also continue to feel mentally focused, and you might even minimize the effects of the aging process. Your body is one of the most fantastic fitness machines ever created to handle life’s physical demands and challenges, and it is always available to you. If you want to build confidence, endurance, move better, feel stronger, and lose weight, start with bodyweight workouts. With the addition of daily movement, weekly strength training, and proper nutritional choices, gaining muscle is more straightforward than you will expect. If you don’t do anything about it, the average human will lose 3% to 5% of their muscle mass each decade. The rate of loss varies from person to person and will increase due to a sedentary lifestyle and poor nutritional selections. According to the National Institute of Health, beginning as early as age 30, we gradually lose muscle mass and strength as a natural part of the aging process. Will I Build Muscles With Just My Body Weight?īodyweight training or workout uses your body as resistance and is essential for gaining and maintaining muscles, especially as you age.
