Building Muscle Mass instead of Fat

 Building Muscle Mass, Losing Fat by Max Roberts

Starting around your 40s, your metabolism slows significantly and more rapidly with age. One may see a belly starting and your body fat increasing . Losing muscle mass is a natural part of aging. Did you know that the more muscle mass you have, the faster your metabolism. With a faster metabolism, you will burn fat.  By building muscles and increasing metabolism , you will combat heart disease and diabetes-the biggest killers of  most men.

So what one needs to do first is :

1 Consult with your doctor

2. Stick to a serious exercise plan and optimize your diet for muscle gain.

3. Do compound exercises that engage multiple joints and engage maximum muscle  fibers. Examples include bench presses, military presses, dead lifts, back rows  and squats. Perform low reps with high sets, and long rest periods to fully  recover. This type of high-intensity exercise also boosts testosterone which is a quintessential  muscle-building hormone.
