Old-fashioned resistance training like lifting heavy weights repeatedly until you can’t is the best way for men to slow or even reverse age-related muscle loss.
The medical term for muscle loss is sarcopenia, and it can boost the risk for falls, frailty, and losing independence. Resistance training (also called weight training) can be a huge help. It consists of doing upper and lower body exercises using free weights, machines, resistance bands, or even body weight.
