Steps to Healthier Living 8

Step 8

Do some sort of resistance exercise 2 - 3 times a week. The resistance doesn't need to be huge, it just needs to be done.

Loss of muscle can be reversed at any age. But you will lose it if you don't use it. You need muscle to function well.

It is good to do resistance on all your muscle groups in the legs, arms, chest, butt, gut, and back. You will know when you have worked them. It is good to alternate the cardio exercise with 'weights'.

Regain your muscles - this will help you maintain a healthy weight, mind and spirit.
