[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You lose muscle mass as you age. Muscle burns energy at a higher rate. You need to maintain/gain muscle mass. Weight lifting is your answer, heavy weights, not 3 lb weights from barre class[/quote] Thanks PP. Yep, those 5lb weights Im using in barre just aren't enough anymore. Makes me sad because I love my class and my group of friends there so much! I guess I need to do 2-3 days of barre instead of 4-5, and 2-3 days of lifting. Maybe cut back on the walking. [/quote] That sounds like a great plan! I think barre is great for maintaining your mobility, range of motion, and core strength as you age but it isn’t nearly enough to maintain or gain muscle mass and prevent bone density loss. You really need more weight and “stress” in your workouts- a couple times per week at least [/quote]
