Fitness Over 50
Once adults pass the physical prime of their teens and twenties, they lose an average of 10 ounces of lean body mass each year, mostly in the form of muscle tissue. Since few people actually lose 10 ounces of weight a year instead, most gain about a pound a year this loss is often masked. In fact, the average person gains one pound and 10 ounces of body fat per year. This gradual process can be more crippling than osteoporosis, but few people notice it until it becomes difficult to climb stairs or get up from the sofa.
In addition, inactive older adults lose ground in three other areas that are very important for staying healthy and independent:
- Endurance
- Balance
- Flexibility
