Let’s change the way we talk: instead of wanting to lose fat, how about we try to build muscle?

Actually, why is nobody talking about muscle health ??? 🧐 What I hear a lot are girls being scared of hitting the gym because they might start looking like a dude… This is wrong! Ladies, we don’t have the testosterone levels required to build up like that, so please stop worrying about that.

You should rather worry about your muscles and how healthy they are:

Skeletal muscle is the organ of longevity; it helps to drastically improve your quality of life as you get older… Muscle also helps regulate our inflammatory response, as it is the largest site for glucose disposal, and it is the foundation of metabolism.

Skeletal muscle is our body armor! For a balanced fitness program, strength training is essential. It can slow the muscle loss that comes with age, build the strength of your muscles and connective tissues, increase bone density, cut your risk of injury, and help ease arthritis pain.

It will also improve your #bodycomposition and help with weight maintenance.

✅ Bottom line: No, you will not look like a dude, you will rather improve your health and your longevity.

⚠️ Understand that muscle is crucial as we age, so let’s stop ignoring it and making it part of our daily fitness related conversations!

No more talking about losing fat, yes to the words “build muscle” 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

How many times per week do you currently do strenght training????
