Weight loss, nutrition, goal-setting, & success stories!
When most people think about muscle, they picture physical strength or a fit physique. But muscle is far more than that—it’s your secret weapon for longevity, independence, and health as you age. At ImpactFit, we’re committed to helping you not just look better but live stronger, healthier lives. And it starts with prioritizing your muscle health.
Muscle does much more than help you crush workouts. It’s vital for your overall health, especially as you age:
Metabolic Boost: Muscle burns calories even when you're at rest, making it your ally in maintaining a healthy metabolism and combating fat gain.
Aging with Strength: Loss of muscle, known as sarcopenia, is common as we age. Preserving your muscle strength helps maintain independence and reduces the risk of falls or injuries.
Disease Prevention: Muscle mass is linked to better insulin sensitivity, lower inflammation, and a reduced risk of chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Starting in your 30s, most people lose 3% to 5% of their muscle mass per decade due to factors like:
Reduced Physical Activity: Being less active leads to less stimulus for muscle maintenance.
Inefficient Protein Use: Our bodies become less effective at converting dietary protein into muscle.
Hormonal Shifts: Declines in growth hormone and testosterone contribute to muscle loss.
The great news? Sarcopenia isn’t inevitable. You can fight back with smart choices.
To preserve and even build muscle, a combination of proper protein intake and consistent strength training is non-negotiable:
Eat Enough Protein: Your body needs a steady supply of protein to repair, grow, and maintain muscle. Focus on lean protein sources in every meal.
Lift Heavy: Strength training signals your body to hold onto and grow muscle tissue. It’s the most effective way to combat age-related muscle loss.
