Summary
What if the real reason your body feels older isn’t your age, but the muscle you’ve lost along the way? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher continue the series on Strength Training Reverses. In today’s episode, they break down how strength training reverses sarcopenia and why muscle loss is one of the biggest drivers of aging.

They chose older adults in their 60s and younger adults in their 20s and 30s.…
