As we age, there's a gradual decline on strength, power and aerobic capacity - if we don't exercise. From the age of 40, about 90g of muscle is lost each year. By the time you've reached 50, aerobic capacity (in non-athletes) decreases by 16%.

Herbert told BizNews that the workouts that do make a difference are not only for athletes.
