April 14 Webinar: Age-Related Muscle Loss
Join us for a free virtual webinar on Wednesday, April 14, from 12-1 pm, to hear Eric Roberts, owner of The Exercise Coach® Alpharetta, speak about “Age-Related Muscle Loss.”
Age-related muscle loss, called sarcopenia, is a natural part of aging. After age 30, you begin to lose as much as 3% to 5% per decade. Even if you’re active, you’ll still lose some muscle mass. Less muscle means greater weakness and less mobility, both of which may increase your risk of falls and fractures. The good news? It is never too late to rebuild muscle and retain it.
- Wednesday, April 14, 12-1 pm
- Free virtual event, anyone can attend!
