Muscle strength is one of the strongest predictors of how long you’ll live, according to researchers.
Strong, healthy muscles do more than increase lifespan. They also make life easier. Yet, about 30% of adults over 70 struggle to climb stairs or even get out of a chair due to muscle loss. Mobility limitations like these increase the risk of falls and nursing home admissions.
That’s why strength training is so important. Without it, people lose up to 40% of their muscle strength as they age. That’s where 20 Minutes to Fitness comes in.
