Most people associate weightlifting with muscle-bound gym dudes who pump dumbbells until they have upper arms like other hamstrings. Lifting weights should become a daily routine for everyone. Because muscles are not only used to impress potential partners. They also help to cope with everyday life. If you have strong body muscles, you can not only lift a fully loaded suitcase more relaxed, you also have a lower risk of injury.
More and more fitness trainers therefore swear by functional training. In contrast to classic strength training, the focus is not just on building muscle. Complex movement sequences are used here to strengthen the entire muscular system, i.e. muscle attachments, tendons and joints.
Muscles are the best retirement plan of all. It’s actually never too late to make an investment, but if you start earlier, you’ll have more muscle mass on the high side later. Because muscles disappear with age. People by the age of 70 have already lost a quarter of the muscle mass they had when they were 30. At 90, it’s only half that. The decline cannot be stopped, but it can be delayed.
