What’s the reason so many older adults aren’t active?

Beginning in our 30’s, our bodies start a natural process of consistent muscle loss. For those who are physically inactive, the loss will amount to about 3-5% every decade after decade after the age of 30. Muscle loss is a concern not only because it limits the types of activities we can engage in, but also because an imbalanced ratio of too little muscle and too much fat is a precursor to a variety of illnesses and diseases including obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, low back pain, and even cancer.
