The reason that most of the senior citizens seem to be getting
washed out in crutches and wheelchairs is because, over the years, their
laziness has cost them their muscles, and it is a price of their
laziness and muscle loss, resulting in metabolic loss, as a result of
lack of strength training that they have to pay, at a much later age.
Every year, women after the age of 25, and men after the age of 30, lose almost half a pound of muscle every year, as a result of the natural process of aging, given that such people do not perform any strength training exercises. This natural loss of half a pound of muscle each year, results in a subsequent 0.5% decline in the metabolic rate of the person who has lost that half a pound of muscle weight, which implies a 0.5% increase in the gain of fats every year, thereby increasing the risk and exposure to fat-related diseases, such as cholesterol, hypertension etc.
It also means a 0.5% reduction in our energy levels, as that much of energy that was available earlier, is now not available and is stored in the form of fats. This leads to a vicious cycle of lethargy, leading to greater muscle loss and fat accumulation.
On the other hand with strength training, you can literally reverse the process of aging. What's more, you can also give your younger counter parts some tough competition, if you are disciplined enough. There are some body building programs that have helped even 50 and 60 year old develop six-pack abs in a matter of between 6 months to 1 year, based on a strict regimen of strength training body building work outs, adequate mental and physical relaxation and rest through sleep and meditation, as well as through a nutritionally balanced diet.
So it is never too late to get started with your strength training and body building aspirations, no matter what your current age is and what your goal or desire is in terms of results and expectations from your strength training and body building work outs. With this training you not only look good, but you internally become sturdy, thereby protecting yourself from easy injury, to which your non-strength training counterparts are susceptible.
With this training you can perform more work around your house and office, lift more weights, and achieve physically tougher goals with relative ease. The age of 50, 60 or 70, differing from country to country, doesn't have to be your retirement age in terms of all fronts of life. You can still be full of life, strength and an example and role model in physical beauty and give your younger counterparts some real inferiority complex with your strength training routines.
Armed with this knowledge, you have reason to get, set and go with your strength training goals or program. Visit the nearest gym, professional trainer or any online source to get started with the process of strength training. So what are you waiting for? Go for it NOW!
