The Science of Strength Training for Longevity After 40

by

At No Limit Personal Training in Yorba Linda, we believe training isn’t just about looking better; it’s about living longer and living stronger. After 40, maintaining muscle is one of the most powerful longevity tools you have.

Why It Matters

Muscle loss (sarcopenia) begins in your 30s, and by 60 you can lose up to 25% of total muscle mass if you don’t strength train. That affects metabolism, mobility, and even brain health.

The Science

  • Strength training improves insulin sensitivity → better blood sugar control.
  • It increases bone density → lowers risk of osteoporosis.
  • It enhances hormone balance → supports energy and recovery.
  • It reduces inflammation and boosts mood.

NLPT Longevity Framework

  1. Lift 3x per week with progressive overload.
  2. Move daily — walks, mobility, recovery.
  3. Fuel properly with protein + whole foods.
  4. Sleep + manage stress — recovery drives progress.
