Muscle Loss

For those who want to maintain muscle mass as they age, or gain muscle mass as they age it is recommended that you listen to the following. But first you should realize that the tried and true method of working out and taking in quality proteins is an important factor.

So with that mentioned let's start with the working out phase that should be consistent to your level of training so that you can handle it and perform it for about 6 to 8 weeks at a time.

This is done so that when you are done working out you've actually put in a consistent amount of time working out. Which will allow you to take time off to relax and rest for about a week or two depending on your physical condition. Which is a good thing because if your workout out for too long your muscles can tear themselves and become damaged.
So by taking this time off resting your muscles they become stronger from repairing and rebuilding themselves.

But as mentioned before it's taking in quality proteins and working out.

So to balance the amount of protein that should be taken you will be using your body weight. Which is determined by taking 2 grams of protein for each pound of body weight.

Leaving you with your appropriate amount of protein intake and your workout routine that is consistent to your level of training.
