Join Coach Clarence as he covers the key reasons why he encourages resistance Training to his clients and those in their 40s and beyond. Learn why resistance training Builds or maintains strength, preventing (slowing) sarcopenia by preserving muscle mass. On this Show you will learn:

·         The benefits of resistance exercise go far beyond the most obvious ones—increasing muscle size and strength.

·         Resistance training supports health and longevity.

·         Prevents falls: Strength training improves mobility in elderly people, which in turn lowers the risk of debilitating stumbles.

·         Staying sharp: Inactivity exacerbates age-related cognitive decline. Increasing physical activity of any type will help preserve brain power in older adults by improving blood flow to the brain and increasing BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), a protein that supports long-term memory and overall cognitive health.

·         Surviving cancer: Seniors with higher amounts of lean mass are more likely to survive a battle against cancer, with fewer surgical and treatment-related complications. They’re also less likely to have a recurrence.

·         Preserving metabolic health: Resistance training helps older adults stay lean and keep blood sugar in check.

·         Staying alive: A growing body of research shows that adults who work out once or twice a week, for a total of 60 to 120 minutes, have a lower risk of death from any cause.
