Start Where You Are - Stop Thinking, Start Doing

A listener asked a very important question after listening to our last episode on the benefits of strength training - can you reverse the effects of Sarcopenia, which is the loss of muscle mass that begins in your 30's and starts increasing at a more rapid rate in your 60's and beyond.

So I set out to answer that question in this episode.

Did you know, that right now, as you are reading this podcast description, you are losing muscle mass (if you are over 40 years old)? It's true. It is estimated that people lose about one percent of their lean muscle mass per year after the age of 40.

In this episode, Kim and Sue discuss the multiple benefits of strength training, and one of the biggest boons is that you need to use your muscles to avoid losing it.

Strength training also increases your bone density, can improve your metabolism (muscle burns calories), help improve brain health, help with weight management, and just make you feel like a general bad ass.

If you are local to the Portland, Maine area and would like to get started, Kim is hosting a beginner's strength training workshop on November 19th. Visit this link for more information and to sign up.

And if you're not local to Maine, but would like a kickstart to get you going, you can purchase Kim's beginner's book on strength training here.

In the inaugural episode of Start Where You Are, online personal trainer and nutrition coach Kim Lloyd and co-host Susan Donaher discuss what it means to follow your curiosity and live your best life.
