Muscle training: strong at any age

Muscle training is not just for the young - it plays a crucial role in your health and well-being at any age. From the age of 30, muscle mass begins to break down naturally. Without countermeasures, this can lead to restrictions in mobility and an increased risk of injury. Regular strength training helps you to slow down this process and improve your quality of life.

Why muscle training is important for you:

  • Improved body composition: even at rest, muscle mass burns more calories than fat mass. This increases your basal metabolic rate and makes it easier for you to lose weight.
  • Stronger bones: Strength training promotes bone density and protects you from osteoporosis, a disease that makes bones porous and brittle.
  • Better insulin sensitivity: Regular exercise can lower your risk of type II diabetes by reducing insulin resistance.
  • Stabilisation of the immune system: Muscle training releases myokines, which strengthen your immune system and fight inflammation in the body.
  • Maintaining independence: Increasing muscle strength and mobility increases the likelihood that you will be able to lead a self-determined life in old age.
