Why Building Muscle After 40 Is the Best Investment in Your Health

Why Building Muscle After 40 Is the Best Investment in Your Health

💪 You’re Not Too Old — You’re Undertrained

Most people in their 40s assume it’s “too late” to build muscle — but that’s far from true.

In fact, this is the most important decade to start.

Studies show adults lose 3–8% of muscle mass per decade after 30 — accelerating after 40.

That’s not just cosmetic — it affects:

• Joint health

• Metabolism

• Hormones

• Injury risk

• Long-term independence

✅ The Benefits of Strength Training in Your 40s

• 🔥 Increases energy and metabolism

• 💪 Preserves bone density

• 🧠 Boosts mental clarity and resilience

• ❤️ Supports heart and hormone health

• 🛡️ Helps prevent disease and frailty later in life

As a body transformation personal trainer in Archway, I specialise in building strength without overtraining or risking injury.

🎯 It’s Not About Bulking — It’s About Function

My clients don’t want to bodybuild — they want to:

• Feel strong again
