I am 66. I go to the gym 6 days a week, and have a job that requires me to lift heavy things. I love it!!! I am actually gaining muscle, continually raising what I lift. Headed to gym in a bit.
@@deodarhill It is if you rotate your muscle groups. I have had a change in schedule at work so now I go to the gym 4 times a week. I do know however, that you need at least one day a week to rest, and I do.
At 76 I’ve been weightlifting for 11 years. Regularly! I work- love it! I bike and swim. I weightlift 2 or 3 times a week. I’m a pain- free and medication- free aging woman! Lifting is where it’s at! Lift!!!
@@Rangerfan-gz1rx This. Many people grow up in inactive families, where parents and siblings were/are complete couch potatoes. It's a challenge for many to break this cycle. You have to choose to be different and it's a steep uphill battle. But it's doable.
I’ve heard doctors say this for over 20 years - Orthopaedic surgeons specifically back, then as loading yourself with weights reduces dramatically the loss of bone. Obviously muscle is retained in the process. This talk is very important for people to see as the message is not getting through to the lazy ones. Use it or lose it.
Sure but cardio e.g. running or walking is WAY more important for health and longevity because lifting at the gym does not improve your cardiovascular health, it doesn't make your heart stronger nor your lungs more efficient, cardio does.
@@Danuxsy not really the point of this video is it. But no one is saying get rid of cardio. And. - cardiovascular health is improved via weights if you’re intense about it actually. Besides to alleviate injuries, you need warm up and warm down and that is a cardio function.

Perfect Presentation- It naturally comes across as obvious. Simple facts/graphs and explanations. Point made; just like animals or cars, if you sit you rust, batteries drain and you seize up or... you use what you have wisely and stay moving, alive and healthier than you probably thought you could. Thank you Dr. Egan for this refreshing talk and simple message. This really helps support my beliefs and what I prescribe as a Coach!
I spent 52 days in the ICU in 2021 before and after my liver transplant. Started physical therapy about 40 days in. Lost so much muscle and was so tight that I could not sit up in bed. Could wrap my hand around my bicep and touch my thumb and index finger together. When they finally got me to try to stand up, I had help from a special machine and two people. Screamed in pain. Spent 3 weeks post ICU in physical therapy hospital. I have gone to the gym at least 3 times a week for 20 months and am doing great. Regained 35 pounds. Do 15-20 exercises (weightlifting only) each time. Muscle is health.
Don't forget diet. You would be shocked how many powerlifyers and body builders die from heart attacks. You need to eat clean and drink plenty of water. Cut out sugar
Dr. Brendan Egan, I played you Muscle matters video on my Android phone. Thank you for letting us know that we can recover a substantial amount of our muscle loss into our old age. About 1/3 to 1/2 was not lous enough to understand what you were saying. Peace, love and wisdom to you and yours.
67 yrs.Had a heart attack and frozen shoulder.Lost 3 months and 15 plus kilos. Ater the stent op i rested up. Started with small walks and gentle exercises at the physio. After a while my physio started me at the gym with very light weights. I go 3 times a week and getting into it.Getting stronger and walking one hour plus. Sometimes it hurts but you keep on. Shoulders not frozen now but range of movement increasing week by week. Hoping toget ack to work sooner than later.
A kilo at a time.I lost 15 to 20 but with long walks and weights ive got back 2 to 3kg over 2 months. Im 67 but have my teenage body. Off to the gym now.

Weigth lifting not only is good for your bodies health, it is also good for your mental health. Start going to the gym. The few the proud the strong. It will change your life for the better 💪😁
100% agree with the "use it or lose it". I'm 42 and I can still run around 5.1km in 20 minutes give or take. Gym or road, I specifically look for competition to challenge and to challenge me. But most often people are just plodding along. They don't push themselves.
Superb! This should be seen by everyone. Although the bodyweight stuff at the end I'm not in agreement with. People are very unlikely to maintain that kind of program with no kind of progressive resistance, and no physical or psychological improvement. People need to weight train, and focus on getting strong. I have a 76 year old lady who had a lot of health issues, could not even stand up straight. But through sensible, consistent training, she worked up to pulling an 80kg deadlift from the floor with competition plates 👌🏼 There is a video on my channel of this. Older people can make truly life changing progress in a very short amount of time. Unfortunately most trainers have no idea what they are doing.
From this presentation, I understood that PRACTICING YOGA IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE....Because it's basically working against your muscles to improve your muscles.
Muscle growth is typically NOT the consequence of an increase in the number of muscle fibers (hyperplasia) but rather due to growth of already existent ones (hypertrophy)
He says a combo or aerobic and lifting. As one ages, which you will, it's more important to do functional exercises that transpose over to everyday movements. And as a side note not all bodybuilding is equal. This isn't about hypertrophy but a realistic muscle composition that will help one do activities of daily living.
No...Active life style plus hard work or exercise works.... Bodybuilder is a cheat for show only...A factory of drugs growing muscles at the cost of life and health
Needed to show the slides better. Only saw distance shots, would have liked to see them full screen so they would have been easier to read. He does a great job with the presentation but didn't really talk about our diets which play a HUGE part regarding health.
What you are really saying is you have come across something that is new to you. You probably think that your previous exposure was the norm or the default. It is good to travel and inform yourself. There is a whole world outside your small comfort zone.
Watch Dr Doug McGuff TH-cam videos on this subject(sarcopenia and weight training) and also look up Dr Simon Melov study on the reversing of aging cells through WEIGHT TRAINING ... Weights is only anabolic form of exercise and at worst its neutral. Almost all other forms are catabolic
I think my phone was listening to me. I was just doing some body weight exercises with the family, and boom, this is in my TH-cam. What is doctors prescribed exercised? What if children did body weight exercises as the last session of everyday?
Studies show that interacting with the audience and a high level of enthousiasm, variation in voice tone etc.. can actually bring a good message accros. This doctor sounds more like a doctor leaning towards his penion.

Agoge Diet really took my diet to the next level. Not only diet, but life. I can see improvements in many aspects of my life. Guys, you rock! #*Agoge Diet*
I always thought dieting is expensive and 'healthy' food costs a lot. Little did I know. I got my diet plan from *Agoge Diet* and I was able to select foods that fit my budget.
Hmmm the opening statement is somewhat unbelievable. If I sit still for 1 hour I naturally expend 60 calories. If I exercise for an hour - he says that increases between 20-30 fold. Which ranges from 1,200 - 1,800 calories. I use my fitness watch when I exercise and even if I push myself into the upper levels of my heart rate for that hour, I will never get near to 1,200 calories. For example, I did a bike ride that lasted an hour. My max heart rate was 178bpm and my average was 134bpm. And yet I only expended 670 calories. So a 10 fold increase.
1:53 Active couch potato 3:38 A 74 year old athlete vs a sedentary 74 year old person -exercise matters; your muscle mass is reduced by 3-8% every decade after the age of 30; 20% exception by training muscles throughout life
Hmmm - his sport would've been based around a strong cardio system that is able to keep going for the entire match. Being muscle bound would've been detrimental to his sport.
Ever since I took up running, I have quite a bit more muscle mass, even in the upper body. It's hard for me to see how one can lose muscle doing endurance sports (when compared to a non-exercising individual).
Endurance training alone can reduce muscle mass becase it's basically working out for a long time without much rest or any rest at all. It's weight, strength, etc adaptation for that particular activity, so it sounds logical to lose weight to perform better, longer, etc.
agreed but my point was that it builds up muscle compared with no exercise. a lot of stability and leg and foot strength is needed for running. but not so much for just sitting in an office all day.
That's probably because you had very little muscle mass in the first place, and for an exercise to be performed effectively your body adapted more strength (muscle mass). That won't keep happening once you're fully adapted to the low requirements of strength running requires and you will still be considered 'weak - average'. Once your ability gets to a high enough level (eg. marathoner) you'll have hit the point of over doing long duration light activity and your cortisol levels will rise, your testosterone will drop and you'll lose muscle and look like a classic post japanese POW looking pro marathoner.
im sorry but i dont find 12 weeks of training for 3% increase in muscle mass to be worth it? maybe i misheard him or something but this is not convincing at all
Matt, have you ever thought about how impressive it is for an elderly person to gain muscle AT ALL given it's almost accepted that they will just slowly lose it as they age. 3% to them could be life changing if they have gone very low on lean muscle mass. They have the time, they are retired and this keeps them active and in the community.
this guy is all over the place with the data,not very scientific ... For example .he says that young individuals can lose 5% of muscle mass in 10-14 days if they are lazy in comparison with adults that that Will lose 3,5% every decade no matter what,trying to leave the impression that this is a disastrous scenario .but he avoids saying how fast they can gain that 5% back when the adults cannot !
Well here in Italy the elderly index is already 184. It passed 100 in the late 90's. Btw: drugs are not the only reason we live longer. Tipical "doctor way" to see life. Malnutrition is an umbrella concept. The one we deal here is denutrition and the datas you brought regard overnutrition. There are no real strong datas about poor nutrition in elderly in western countries. The only available fact is unicef report: it's about 5,9% in 2020, and in most of the cases it affects istitutionalized elderly people The fact you live longer because you are stronger (muscled up) is a big bias. You can live better and with less drugs, for sure. Actually, taking datas you didn't show, the best way for living longer is a social contest where we feel loved and cared. Odds are better when you are: -happy -well nourished -active (doing stuff all day long) "B.buiders life style", like someone said, usually is very orthorexic and strict.
Nothing surprising in here...the missing piece, thinking of my mother, is how to get that 75 year old person who has little/no history of exercise to somehow develop a program and stick to it?
