Improved Strength in 3 SECONDS?! (Wow!)

It’s difficult to admit it. But your body just isn’t as strong today as it was years ago.
And it’s certainly not for lack of trying…
In fact, a study from the Journal of Medical Internet Research has found that while the exercise habits of young to middle-aged people are on the decline, seniors are more active than EVER!
But even if you’re one of the countless seniors ramping up your physical activity, it doesn’t mean you’re completely immune to a little age-related weakness.
Whether it’s not being able to carry as many grocery bags as you used to… or needing some help when opening jars…
We all lose some strength as we get older.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t get it BACK!
According to a new study, you can IMRPOVE your muscle strength… and it only takes THREE SECONDS each day.
A recent study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports has found that lifting weights for as little as three seconds a day can have a positive impact on your muscle strength – even into old age.

In fact, they found that performing a single bicep curl at maximum effort can lead to a 10% increase in muscle strength… in just one month!
Now, to be clear (and realistic) …
One bicep curl isn’t going to turn you into Arnold Schwarzenegger…
But it can help you fend off – and even prevent – the rapid loss of muscle mass that often goes hand-in-hand with aging… Especially if you’re pressed for time.
If you’re already engaged in a strength training or weight lifting routine, consider this an opportunity to increase the amount of weight you may lift – even if it’s just one day per week. (Remember, all it takes it one, heavy bicep curl.)
If you’re new to strength training, that’s okay. Don’t lift heavy weights right out of the gate. But, as you get more comfortable, try incorporating one day where you go a little ‘heavier.’ For example, if you consistently curl 5–10-pound weights… try curling 10-15 pounds just one day a week. You’ll be surprised how much stronger you feel after a few weeks!
Be sure to talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
