Strength & Muscle Decreases with Age
Without adequate stimulation, the loss of Type 2 muscle fibers leads to rapid strength loss — and Sarcopenia — over age 65.

Aerobic / Endurance
- Minimal effort to maintain
- Preserve basic ability to move
- Minimal calories to maintain
Type 2 Muscle Fibers
Anaerobic / Strength
- Focused effort to maintain
- Maximize optimal body function
- Increase and maintain optimal metabolic function
