Myth: you will gain weight as you age 🤷♀️
Truth: you gain weight as you age because you become less active and you eat more 😳
Aging doesn’t = weight gain
Typically as we age we become less active, or the activities we used to do are no longer as effective. Strength training is a must as we age. Building lean muscle will keep you healthy and lean as you age! 💪
Typically as we age we don’t change our eating habits. We likely need fewer calories if we aren’t expending the same energy as when we were young. Making adjustments to food quality can help keep weight in check and health a priority.👍
I recently turned 53. Currently strength training, tracking macros and still competing in powerlifting.
Aging doesn’t have to mean giving up on your health, fitness and body composition goals.
