RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

At the age of 25 we all start to 1/2lb of lean muscle tissue every year for the rest of our life. Losing muscle tissue = slowing down our metabolism (rate at which we burn cal) = gaining body fat quicker. At 30 our metabolism slows down even more. At 40 we start to lose bone density, making our bones weaker, and leaving us more open to injury. So important to begin exercising, especially strength training, to avoid health issues such as these in the future. START TODAY!
