We grow new muscles

Sarcopenia is losing muscle strength

Leads to degeneration of muscle mass

Sedentary  life style leads to muscle loss

Diet and physical exercise benefits muscle gain

Lift a weight quickly, lift a heavier weight

Called high velocity training is beneficial

Walk faster, climb faster, move faster

Let not your strength go down, it matters

JUST DO IT

JUST DO IT

In 1954 none thought one can run a mile in 4 minutes

Roger Bannister believed he can do it 

He did it in 3 minutes 59.4 seconds and set a  record

It is only the will to accomplish, makes impossible become possible

In sports while you have a break, let not your thoughts wander

Count your breath and improve your focus

You will overcome hurdles and become a winner
