Aging often feels like a gradual process—slow and steady at first, but as the years roll on, the decline becomes more noticeable. By the time you reach your 70s, it can feel like you’re speeding downhill, with the effects of aging accelerating significantly. The time is now to assess where you stand and take proactive steps for a FutureFitYOU.
Consider these facts that illustrate the slippery slope of aging:
Muscle Mass Loss: You lose 8% to 17% of your muscle mass per decade, with women experiencing this decline at a faster rate. This muscle loss speeds up as you age.
Fast-Twitch Muscle Fiber Decline: These muscle fibers, crucial for speed and explosive movements, diminish at a rate of 3-5% per decade.
VO2 Max Decline: VO2 max, a key indicator of longevity, is often overlooked in medical assessments. Research shows that VO2 max declines by 15% per decade after age 50.
General Physical Decline: Balance, strength, and cardio fitness start to decline as early as our 30s.
These statistics can be daunting, making the future seem like a formidable challenge. However, the good news is that research shows strength training and mobility exercises can reverse these trends, regardless of your age.
Introducing the FutureFitYOU Assessment Tool
Our assessment tool is designed to help you prepare for the future by focusing on five key areas: Mobility, Strength, Agility, Cardio, and VO2 max. By addressing these areas now, you can build a foundation that supports long-term health and fitness, making the aging process less daunting and more manageable.
