Tyoe 2 muscle fibers, our power source for ballistic and rapid movement such as getting up from the floor, chasing down a tennis ball, picking up a child or preventing a fall when tripping over a dog, are diminishing at a faster rate post 50 years of age. This loss of muscle mass, called sarcopenia, can lead to frailty, injuries and a reduced quality of life. Our diminished activity then leads to other health issues- obesity, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and depression. Post 50, exercise and strength training become all the more important and Christine and Karen will show you how simple, easy and FUN it can be to create a most robust life!
