Top #30 Greatest Ways 2 Lose Belly Fat ~ #17 "Age"

Top #30 Greatest Ways to Lose Belly Fat..

#17. Age 
Okay, so there is really nothing we can do about turning back the clock, but here are some things that happen with age that are inevitable. For example.. as we get older our muscle mass tends to decrease and body fat increases (in physically inactive people this starts after the age of 30) but this is from sitting more and moving less.  A full body resistance program will help prevent the loss of muscle. A important reminder to remember is that muscle helps increase metabolic rate, which means you burn more calories making it easier to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Incorporating weights in to your exercise program will be a huge benefit especially as we are getting older. If your a newbie to lifting weights don't worry as it's never too late to learn how. In fact my parents are in their early 70's are just now starting to add weight lifting to their working regime. It's unfortunate that they now live in California so I am unable to be their personal trainer, but when they joined the local gym where they live a personal trainer was part of the package for 10 sessions each. It would be to your benefit if you're new to lifting weights to get a personal trainer to instruct you in the beginning so you know you're doing it correctly and getting the maximum benefits from your weight lifting workouts. Plus it's as important to learn the correct way so you do get the most out of your weight training workouts. We may not be able to stop time or change the fact that we all are getting older, but we can do everything possible to not look like or feel like we are. A big plus is muscle is a sign of youth and it is vital in making the body fit, shapely and firm.
