Why and how you need to strength train when you get older and/or are in a calorie deficit

 

Getting older (over 50 years) means you are in danger of losing muscle mass every year which can be detrimental for your health in your later years. The same is true if you are trying to lose body fat and are on a diet that puts you in a calorie deficit. These dangers are real but can be mitigated with the right approach.
