I’ve read that it’s 3-5% per decade, not 2% per year. All the same, most of us are on losing muscle mass side of the curve, to put it delicately.
I used to be fairly disciplined with strength training. I’ve alway believed that a well designed weight training program had enough cardio sort of built in to it to reduce the need for pure cardio workouts for someone with decent heart/lung health.
“Used to be” is key here. I am currently not doing much except being careful of my diet and I need to reinvigorate my exercise program. Until I stop working full time, I cannot adopt Houtman’s fitness regimen (the one about working about the house, not working the bars and clubs) and so I’m in the process of getting back to my home gym in a more serious manner. This thread proved to be a timely reminder so thanks for posting.
Having said all that and after looking out my window at the blanket of white, I believe my new commitment to exercise will start with several sets of “shovel curls”.
