losing muscle
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ASCM), your lean muscle mass may decrease by nearly 50 percent between the ages of 20 and 90.
"If you don't do anything to replace that loss, you're losing muscle and increasing fat," says Dr. Laskowski. "But if you do weight training, you can preserve and enhance your muscle mass."
Isn't that freaky?? So the reason why I am losing weight is because I am losing all my years of hard-earned muscles via judo training???
So there are 4 elements to a well rounded fitness routine. Aerobic, flexibility, stability and muscular.
I work on everything regularly except for muscular fitness. I need to start going to the gymn.
Wake up call came one day when I was running with my arm wallet strapped to my arm. As I ran, I could feel the wallet jiggling on my flabby arms.
That's it! I have to do something about it!
