Energy Coaching For Older Folks- Exhausting Effort Issues – BionicOldGuy

I discovered an vital examine on Clarence Bass’ web site right here. A examine of energy coaching amongst retirees discovered that tough coaching is important for preserving muscle mass. The examine in contrast a bunch doing heavy resistance coaching vs a average depth group, and likewise vs a management group that didn’t train. Muscle mass was solely successfully preserved for the heavy resistance group after 4 years. The heavy resistance group used weight machines, whereas the average group used resistance bands and body weight workout routines. I’d prefer to make clear that you may nonetheless carry heavy utilizing resistance bands, you simply have use extra of them.

Backside line, go heavy! Clarence emphasizes this on a regular basis and I’ve talked about it a time or too additionally. It’s good to see it confirmed, particularly for us older people, in a transparent examine like this one.
