AS MALES APPROACH 50 YEARS OF AGE PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES START TO OCCUR TO THE HUMAN BODY.

​

WE START TO SEE A REDUCTION IN TESTOSTERONE LEVELS (ANDROPAUSE), STRENGTH/POWER (DYNAPENIA) AND MUSCLE MASS (SARCOPENIA).

​

SKELETAL MUSCLE IS THE LARGEST ORGAN IN THE BODY,AS IT IS NOW SEEN AS AN ENDOCRINE ORGAN. IT HAS A MASSIVE IMPACT NOT ONLY ON YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH (AS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT) BUT ALSO ON YOUR MENTAL, NEUROLOGICAL AND METABOLIC HEALTH!


FROM 50 YEARS OF AGE WE LOSE ABOUT 10 POUNDS OF LEAN MUSCLE MASS PER DECADE. GOING FOR WALKS OR DOING CARDIO (RUNNING, ROWING ETC.) ALONE WILL NOT STOP THE DECLINE.

​

THESE ISSUES IF NOT RESOLVED CAN HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON YOUR SOCIAL AND FAMILY LIFE AND PUT A STOP TO YOU ACHIEVING THOSE DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS YOU HAVE.

​

STRENGTH TRAINING IS THE BEST WAY TO COMBAT THESE ISSUES!
