Age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) can be prevented through regular resistance training - all Dance to Health sessions include body-weight and resistance band strength exercises for this reason
#fitforlife
#dancetohealth

Preventing sarcopenia is now viewed as a top public health priority & with an ageing population it has individual & economic consequences in excess of the obesity crisis.
It is something everyone should be discussing in practice to improve health longevity & clinical outcomes
