Do you know muscles shrink and the strength gets worse because of aging?

Check the list below:

• Can’t put on a sock standing with one leg

• The thighs get thinner

• Stumble on the flat surface

If you have any one of these, it might be a danger signal.

Particularly leg muscles shrink 1% each year after 30 years of age if we don’t exercise.

Then we will lose 40% of the muscles in our 70th.

It is said that such a reduction of action is due to muscle weakness and a decrease in signals of motion commands from brain because of aging.

Step exercise is suitable for brain training and strengthening your lower body. It includes well-balanced cardio and muscle training → Step Lesson

Predictable risks in the case of leaving a muscle shrunk are:

• Basal metabolism reduces and it makes us have slow metabolisms.
• Then energy consumption also reduces and parts of body get swollen.
• Cause stiff shoulders and arthritis.
• The skin metabolism doesn’t work normally and cause dullness and roughness of the skin.
• Decrease body temperature and have poor circulation to cold.
• Get tired easily.
• Stumble on a flat area and break bones.

Not only the amount, the strength is also important for muscles.

A lack of exercise changes the muscle structure and the strength is lost.

Such phenomenons occur in our 30th to 40th.

Prevention of shrinking muscles

Walking is well known as a general easy method for health.

But unfortunately only walking is not enough to strengthen muscles.

We can improve and keep our muscle strength by doing exercises that we feel are a little strenuous.

ZUMBA is a little strenuous, but we can exercise enjoying the danceable movements →ZUMBA®

Please put your mind at ease!

The more we train our muscles, the more our muscles get stronger and bigger regardless of age.

Additionally we can save up our muscles.

Muscles can remember stimulation given by exercises in the past.

If we can wake our muscle memories up, they will recover even though we have a long blank without exercising.

Why don’t you save up your muscles enjoyably?

We have a muscle training class as well → Short Boot Camp & Low Impact Cardio
