Lift for Lifelong Freedom
In the U.S., most adults lose about 3–8 % of muscle mass per decade starting in our 30s, with the decline accelerating after 60—undermining strength, balance, and confidence Without resistance training, everyday movements can become hard—from climbing stairs to gardening or grocery hauling.
But there’s great news: strength training (with free weights, bands, bodyweight, or machines) can reverse or slow that clock. Even just two 30 to 45 minute sessions weekly can
• Cut fall risk by 20–25 % in community dwelling older adults
• Help preserve or increase bone density—even in post menopausal adults, with gains of around 1–2 % over six months
• Reduce mortality risk by 10–17 %, compared to those who skip strength work
When combined with aerobic activity, the benefits soar: U.S. health data show that adults doing both types of training experienced a 41 % drop in mortality, compared to just 9 % for strength alone and 32 % for aerobic only.
Why does it matter?
Strong muscles support your skeleton, cushion your joints, improve posture, and maintain balance. These translate to longer, more independent mobility as you age. Everyday things—playing with grandkids, walking your dog, or taking the stairs—stay possible longer.
At Wellness Supplements USA, we support strength with natural supplement options—like plant based proteins, herbal blends, collagen, and micronutrients—to help with recovery, reduced soreness, and joint comfort. Pair whichever you choose with a consistent training routine and adequate protein intake.
