Muscle loss with age is not inevitable. Learn how to maintain and even grow muscle in your 40s and beyond with smart training, protein, and joint-friendly strategies.

💪 Your Muscles Don’t Have an Expiration Date

Think muscle loss is just part of aging? Think again. Staying strong into your 40s, 50s, and beyond is absolutely possible—if you train smart and fuel right.

🚫 Myth: Muscle Loss Starts in Your 30s

Truth? Muscle loss only happens with inactivity. Studies show that regular training can maintain or even increase muscle well into your 60s.

🏋️‍♀️ Adjust Training as You Age

After 40, focus on light weights + high reps and total body movements. Think squats, resistance bands, and balance drills—not just heavy lifting.

🍗 Protein Needs Go Up

Younger adults might need 20g of protein post-workout. Over 40? Aim for 30–45g. Protein = muscle recovery + strength preservation.

🧘‍♀️ Protect Your Joints

Joint health matters. Incorporate low-impact workouts like yoga, swimming, or cycling. These build strength without hurting your knees or hips.

🕊️ Stay Consistent, Stay Strong

Aging isn’t about decline—it’s about adjusting and continuing. With smart strength training and recovery, you’ll feel stronger, lighter, and more alive.
