Full transcript
Cardio won't save your aging muscle — strength training will. Strength: builds muscle and bone, protects the muscle you lose with age, two-plus days a week, and raises your resting burn. Cardio: heart and lungs, most days, burns while you do it. This isn't either-or — the winning plan is both, every week. The mistake is skipping the weights. agegen.ai.
