Description

Sadly, only 20% of Americans are meeting the ACSM and CDC guidelines for physical activity. The benefits of exercise go far beyond just being “fit”. Explore the markers of strength across the age span alongside actionable tips to help patients build and maintain strength in every domain: physical, nutrition, and cognitive.

No one routine is superior, and more isn’t necessarily better. Learn practical techniques that get your patients up and moving – feeling better than ever before! As we age, muscle strength begins to decline – but with these proven strategies, you can improve strength, slow the process of muscle decline and prolong independence.

  • Simple tips for recovery that reduce DOMS and enhance tissue repair
  • How to build muscle with your fork
  • Special considerations for protein type, timing and total intake
