“I’m too old to gain muscle.”
Stop lying to yourself. Stop giving yourself an excuse to not work hard and move forward.
Because while our body, needs and goals do change as we get older, and yes it 100% becomes harder to build and retain lean muscle, we can achieve fabulous results and build muscle at any and every age.
And honestly, often the reason we don’t see the results we want as we get older is because we cling to improper dieting and workout practices that we may have “gotten away with” when we were younger.
But at every stage of life, we need to be adjusting our training and fueling. Nothing works forever.
Our body and lifestyle are constantly evolving and so should our diet and training habits to meet us where we are at currently so we can always move forward and be functional strong till our final day on this planet!
That’s why I want to share 7 tips to show you how to build muscle at any age...

I eat less than she, I eat protein and suggested carbs, workout just as much and I am losing muscle, losing movement, losing stamina. I don't diet. She does. She will eat only vegetables for days and still have stamina. She is my fathers side, I am my mothers side. And I'm 9 years younger than she. Say what you want. Genetics play a big game.

I’ve been an exercise addict my entire life! Biking, running, lifting weights and watching what I eat! When my older brother told me wait till your 25, then you’ll start feeling old! When I turned 25 I said I still feel pretty good! He said this to me every 10 years and finally shut up when I turned 60 and asked him, when do you start feeling old? He did give me a nice compliment though. He said most people put making money first, so they can buy a life time of junk. I put my health first and had a lifetime of youth!! 😊🤗

Good reminders! I'm 70 and in the last year have lost 40 lbs and about four inches from my waist. Which had much to do with (to the best of my abilities) stopping the consumption of grains, seed oils and simple carbs. My bench ain't close to what is was fifteen years ago, but I am regaining lot of strength and more flexibility with dietary changes, kettlebell work, progressive overload and bicycling.

A grandparent and parent are my “cautionary tales” also! I have had bouts of laziness in working on mobility and functional strength but have stayed in moderate shape. We had a great winter here in NW Montana US: I snowshoed 1-2 times per day (3/4 - 2 miles), cleared snow, dealt with firewood (splitting/stacking/carrying) and want to keep the conditioning and strength. I struggle in summer as I don’t like or do well with heat. So … getting into a good routine NOW before it is hot. Thankfully, I am naturally an early bird so have made a schedule of heavy workouts/walk/mobility for early morning … lighter movements afternoon. I will be 68 in 3 months and hope to celebrate end of Summer in good condition! Thanks for the video and all comments also.

@brucehilger95 Год назад

I'm 81 y/o and have been physically active. I work out at gym 5 days, I hike and mountain bike once or twice. I started jump rope 5 months ago and enjoy the challenge. I retired 11 years ago and am exploring a whole new world. I have followed RDS and agree with this, her tutorial. As an individual I must follow my own experience and strengths. This all makes the physical and mental decline slower and helps replace what I can't do with something new.

@lindabrink4050 11 месяцев назад

I agree. At 70, I see how much I’ve slowed down in my activity level! I was a personal trainer, aerobics instructor and a physical therapist assistant, but retirement has been hell! Until recently, and then I found the motivation to get back to strength training, bicycling and yoga (my favorite). The muscle memory is REAL! I’m gaining a little. Bit by bit, although the Crohns makes it difficult, I have seen results in a matter of weeks. I’m not aging without fighting back!

Grateful! That is how I feel when I show up to the gym. Grateful because I am welcoming menopause in my terms 😊 staying fit and strong at 52! My journey to change was to commit… I needed to commit to being consistent with weight training, eating balanced meals and no alcohol. Trust me, it has not been easy because I used to drink wine without seeing an impact in training. Not the same anymore. So again, being grateful to have minimal menopause symptoms while gaining muscle, made me commit to change.

It is almost impossible to find workout advice specifically for people over--umm, about 40. I'm 65. So far I can do most things younger people do. That will not always be the case.

Have you considered neck and face exercises, too? For women of a certain age, our face and neck muscles "fall" but we don't really pay attention to it. So we end up with a 30 year old's body but still a 55 year old face. It is just as important as body work, not just for looks but our face and neck are full of lymph nodes and skin that dries quicker than any other place on our body.

"Use it or lose it". One of the issues causing this is the idea of what constitutes "being active" as people get older. Most people gradually notch down their standard of what constitutes activity as they age. At 63, I teach karate , work out, and still love hiking in the mountains. Amazing how many people my age and younger think I should "slow down". My teacher is in his early 80's and makes 40 year olds look weak and slow. I've had students in their 20's try to do my fingertip pushups and can't. People need to change their mindset, get moving, get active, and never stop.

@victorycall Год назад

I appreciated your comment as it made me think about activities that are culturally considered to be "staying active" for older people. E.g. fishing, golfing (where you ride a cart from one hole to the next, or at least have someone else carry your clubs), shuffleboard, taking a walk. All of which are much better than being completely sedentary, but probably not enough to retain muscle mass. If that's an older person's activity level, 20 years from now attending church and bingo will be "active." And 10 more years after that, that person will be considered in excellent shape to be able to get up and down off the toilet without assistance. We've got to set the bar much higher to reduce decline with age.

I so needed to watch this! 66, and up to about 3 years ago I was reasonably fit - busy lifestyle, started university at 60 and got my degree 4 years later, but then the pandemic. Something happened in my brain and I stopped. I just stopped. I didn't even go for walks. For the past 8 months or so, I've started a good walking regiman: 5-6 days a week for at least and hour each time. But that's all I've done. I really need to get back into a full mobility, flexibility and functional fitness routine. I've always sworn that I would NOT become my mother, who got to a point where just getting out of the car was a 5 minute affair. Yet here I am, perilously close to that state. Anyway - I just started doing yoga a few days ago, and I can barely hold some of those poses. Thanks so much for this video! Smart info about lifestyle and protein intake, not just the exercises themselves.

@33Jenesis Год назад

66 is not late! You have many years to get fit, flexible, and internally healthy :). I also watch my mother decline over the years even though she’s a big proponent of exercise (she does all the wrong exercises to wreck her body to be now semi immobile). I have no kids no SO no other relatives to watch over me when my mother is gone so I have to stay healthy for as long as I can.

Freaking awesome video. All the important tips, all at once. Have not contemplated the issue of intermittent fasting when trying to gain muscle mass though. I do practice intermittent fasting 16/8, but break this routine when I have an early workout. I always "fuel" myself before a workout, and try to get a good portion of protein after working out. Also I do not practice intermittent fasting on Saturdays and Sundays, as these are the days where I have an early workout. I’m 56, I practice indoor climbing, lift weights, and I love hiking mountain peaks. I’m not very strong/fit by any stretch of the imagination, but I’m trying to improve my form, and this video is a great reminder of what to do, and not do. Thank you very much for putting it out there. ATB from Norway 👍🏻👍🏻🇳🇴

The gym is my idea of a nightmare. It gives me the ick. So I’ve been working out at home. No fees, no special outfit to buy, no driving, no other people (introvert). Gyms smell. So many barriers. I wish there would be more emphasis on exercise where you don’t have to go to the gym. I think this emphasis on the gym keeps many people, especially older people on a pension and without a car, from working out. Even self-conscious young people avoid the gym cause it feels so awkward.

@Anikanoteven Год назад

I’m starting back at the gym after focussing on yoga for about 20 years. I never got the “look” I wanted from weight training, even though I trained hard with a trainer. My body got smaller but I was still flabby and with undefined muscle. So I just focussed on what made me feel wonderful, which is always yoga. However now that I’m 60 I feel the need to go back to the gym to keep my muscle tone up. So I’m going for purely functional goals. These are all great tips. Thx!

@TycoVai Год назад

Might i suggest Kettlebells. I have created a workout which is literally about 12 mins long and sometimes i do the circuit 2X. I see a lot of people at the gym doing weights and looking at their phones. I am in and out and feeling great in the meantime. I wish you a great journey.

@Anikanoteven Год назад

I started pushing weights at 58 I’ve just turned 61 and for the last week I’ve been repeating workouts from a year ago and am lifting heavier and have loads of energy, i work 4 nights a week and have been waiting for a knee replacement for the last 3 years. When I started this venture I wondered if ‘ the ship had already sailed’ and realised it had not, my only regret is that I didn’t start at 18 I no longer use alcohol/tobacco/sweets and wish I never had, respect from uk.

I like this. I am 44 years old and have hypothyroidism. Although weight loss is a struggle, I have a lot of muscle and excellent blood pressure because I regularly strength train and run. I am also working on stability exercises and stretching to heal with IT band syndrome. When I lift, I do full body and include back/core muscles. My role model is Ernestine Shepherd, the oldest female body builder. She's now in her mid 80s and is a testament to older women can build and retain muscle.

Have always been a cardio girl and a passionate dancer, but found myself with back pain more and more often so I had to do something. Have now become a gym person and am a happier dancer that can easily do four hours on the dance floor without any pain anywhere.

@doradelellis5055 Год назад

59 years old, 124 pounds, 5 feet tall, 36% body fat (!). I started working with a trainer, they gave me a hyper protein diet. After 2 months, I feel stronger, lost 2 inches on my waist, but only lost 1 pound and my body fat % has not budged. I bought one of those scales that gives you a list of stats. Almost all stats are good, or on the low end of the good range. I must not be eating enough protein. I think I have a protein deficiency caused from lack of protein when I was 100% vegetarian. Some of my health issues developed from the vegetarian stage are starting to reverse, i.e., foot pain/tightness, loss of skin elasticity, and hair loss. It is encouraging to see so many comments from people over 50 although I am a bit discouraged at this point. How long should it take for my body fat % to decrease?

@carolosborne126 Год назад

!. Use it or lose it - strength train 2 -3 days per week no excuses 2. Stop dieting - eat what your body needs and listen to your body, eat mindfully 3. Do moves that challenge your muscles - train all muscle groups ideally twice a week 2 days for biceps, triceps, chest, etc. 4. Increase protein intake each meal - add 10 or more grams at each meal starting today 5. Do mobility work/exercises - when moving, working out or whatever, move all joints in their full range of motion 6. Be strategic in your meal timing - pre or post workout snacks and eat when your body is hungry 7. Stay active during your rest days (and take them!) - yoga, go for a walk, Tai chi or Qigong, etc.

Thank you. I love your channel. You give such helpful advice in such a clear way. I'm over 50 and have worked out all my life, but now am dealing with the stress of work and raising two small kids and not getting enough sleep. I've heard that these are the perfect conditions to impede the absorption of protein at any age, especially over 50. So I've used IF to help improve my guy health. And sometimes I train fasted to help activate fat-burning and repair gut health so that I can better absorb the protein. I definitely eat a lot protein (maybe too much sometimes alas). But usually I eat it after a workout, not before. Given what you said in this video, I'm concerned this is a bad approach. What are your thoughts about folks over 50 using IF for gut health and fat burning, while also making sure we keep the protein high (carbs, as well, post-workout) for recovery. Thanks again!

@redefiningstrengthOC Год назад

One size doesn't fit all. And there are definitely benefits to fasting, including just making our overall "lifestyle" sustainable. However, I think by tracking you can test if it is truly benefiting you or if running a little experiment or shifting your eating window to accommodate a pre-workout snack helps. You may be surprised by the results!
