The Cost of Not Building Muscle After 40 (And How to Fix It)

⚠️ The Silent Cost of Muscle Loss

Most people in their 40s don’t notice muscle loss — until it’s too late.

The average adult loses 1% of strength per year after age 40.
And by 50+, muscle loss accelerates — unless you train for it.

Without strength training, you risk:

  • Metabolic slowdown → belly fat

  • Poor posture → neck/back pain

  • Higher injury risk

  • Poor insulin sensitivity

  • Faster ageing


📊 Real Data You Should Know

  • 70% of people over 40 report chronic fatigue

  • Muscle mass is one of the top predictors of longevity and quality of life

  • Strength training 2–3x/week can reverse 5–10 years of physical decline


✅ Here’s What You Can Do

As your Archway personal trainer, I build programs focused on:

  • Joint-friendly strength training

  • Core and posture work

  • Progressive overload (no plateaus)

  • Efficient 45-min workouts

  • Real, visible results in 12–16 weeks
