Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength.
It begins around 30 years old and it only gets worse with age.

You lose 8% of your muscle mass every decade after 30.
Once you hit 60? That loss TRIPLES to 3% per year.
And this isn't just about looking good in the mirror...
• Destroyed metabolism
• Accelerated brain aging
• Loss of basic independence
• Increased risk of early death
• Higher risk of life-changing injuries
But, there’s a way to fight back…
Science shows that muscle loss can be reversed at any age.
Yes, even if you’re 40, 50, or 60.
Your body never loses its ability to build muscle.
The question is: how do you stop the decline?
1. Resistance training
A personalized routine challenges your muscles without wrecking your schedule.
This builds muscle that lasts.
The key is progressive overload - gradually increase weight and intensity to keep growing stronger over time.
Your muscles constantly break down and rebuild.
Without enough protein, that process stalls.
Aim for 0.8–1g of protein per pound of body weight daily to fuel muscle growth, aid recovery, and prevent loss.
Nutrition is just as important as training.
It’s never too late to start - but waiting only makes it harder.
Addressing muscle loss early prevents future damage and health issues.
Don’t wait until weakness or injuries force you to take action.
Start now while the climb is still manageable.
