I am very active all my life since a young kid I started swimming daily and practiced tennis 3 days a week. Now at 71 still swimming but 4/7 and lap swim 40 minutes each time, and brisk walk 2 hours daily for decades. Eat a lot of lean protein and 16 hours fasting daily. Last year during my walk at night i felt a couple times really badly, bled and hurt my knees and arms for several weeks but nothing broken. My doctor told me my muscles saved me from broken bones falling. I still have scars visible and bruises but that did not stop me from walking and swimming like nothing happened. I also tale collagen peptides and make my own bone broth from grassfed shanks. People think i am wearing a wig, and I drive daytime without wearing glasses. There are the day up and down but overall i feel good most of the days and lot energy hiking all day in the mountains and enjoying so much of it Exercise, being active, keep the day busy, have good nutritious diets and you should be happy and sleep well at night like a toddler.

The secret for after the age of 40 is TRT, or simply put steroids on a balanced and moderate usage. About 1cc a month, and well designed exercise routine and balanced diet. Eat everything in moderation, avoid junk food and highly processed foods. You can cheat every now and then!

Chronic pain, poorly understood and poorly treated took a real toll in my 50’s. In my 60’s and for 6 years now I am fighting back, now that I understand this pain affliction better. Walking, lose weight over time (slow and steady), to your ideal weight, dumbbells and body weight movement exercises, healthy food, drink water, and get good sleep. Get down to the floor and back up with no aids, often. It’s 10 X harder to do this with chronic pain but it is absolutely necessary.

I'm a 60 y/o femaile cyclist but was concerned about my muscles in my upper body so for the last 6 months I have been training with dumbbells in my own home 3x a week for sessions of 30 to 40 minutes. I work the whole body using supersets to save time and use progressive overload principles. I recently got an InBody scan and since I have had these in the past i was able to do some comparisons. I have gained 5 lbs of muscle in these last 6 months. I eat a mostly whole food plant based diet and did not change anything with that. I'm 5'9 and weight 150 lbs. I ate about 60 to 80 grams of protein per day. It can be done folks!! I'm well pleased with this result and although I realize that muscle gain rate will taper off now, I can still work to gain more and keep what I have by continuing with the weight training.

FYI -- I've done strenous uphill cycling for the decades to keep my legs strong. But at around 65, I noticed a slight decrease in my leg strength when rising up out of a low seat, couch, car, etc. I was surprised and then realized that cycling isn't really a that good of an exercise for your quad muscles. So I started doing squats and that fixed it. Now I have way more spring in my legs than ever before.

A very useful video. Thank you. I'm in my mid 70s and realised that I was spending too much time being inactive in the winter months. The result was a gradual weight gain. I bought myself a cheap treadmill (£200.00 here in the UK) and combined it with a smart watch to track activity. My watch beeps at me when I've been inactive for half an hour and I get up and do a ten minute brisk walk on my treadmill. Spread over the day, it's easy to clock up your 10,000 steps. I've now started to combine a bit of resistance training as part of my 'exercise snacks' As you can guess I'm losing fat and gaining muscle and feeling an all round improvement in my fitness. In the light of experience, I'd probably spend a bit more on the treadmill and get one with an incline function so that as I got fitter, I could increase the challenge, Avoid the very cheap under the desk treadmills that don't have handles because in the first week or so of using it, you need the handles to get used to it. Hope this helps!

Dr. Furlan, thank you for this information. A couple of years ago, I read over my primary care physician’s summary of our annual visit and for the first time noticed a diagnosis of sarcopenia. There was no discussion. I am a 69 year old female and have noticed a concerning loss of strength. My husband has numerous chronic conditions and at times, I need to take on more responsibilities. This has been difficult for me. While I do eat plenty of protein in a very nutritious diet, I fall short on the other recommendations.

I'm 62 and started working out 9 months ago. I couldn't walk a block without getting winded. I joined an inexpensive gym, 10 dollars a month and I bought some exercise bands of various strengths. I used the bands while watching KZread or tie them to something stationary like a door knob. Don't use weights for the first week then add some weight like 5lbs. Eat a gram of protein for each lb of body weight. Long story short. I can now squat and lift over 400lbs. Just take your time. You will find lots of other seniors in the gym. Normally in the morning or afternoon , when it's not so busy. Be blessed and have fun. The first two weeks will be the hardest, because you have to find your system. It's different for everyone. Be blessed, and take your time. Oh and leg work outs, like squats help your whole body. Use youtube to find the correct way to do exercise. You will look good and feel strong soon. 😊

Thank you so much. Never heard of sarcopenia before. Am 68 with multiple chronic issues but did not fight it. Going to start tiny steps to get better so less responsibility and worry for my wonderful family

I'm 70 and could out-walk and out-run most 30-year olds. All it takes is a lifetime of dedication to being fit.

your advice is excellent It should be followed and the earlier the better. Never heard of sarcopenia but common knowledge we get weaker as we age. It is also common sense that regular exercise is the only true way to slow the decline. I only started regular exercise when I was 59 and it kept me healthy and strong, never broke a bone or spent a night in a hospital. Now am 80 and decided to double down and do strength training/rowing 1 hour every day. I am too old to stop although can only pull myself up from hanging overhead bar 4 time whereas I could do that 12 time when I was 70.

I am 72 and notice a definite decline in my strength and stamina. Most of my life Ive treated exercise in a manner similar to dieting. All or nothing. Waffling from exercising every day to doing nothing. I've finally learned that it's better to start off slow and be consistent. Gradually working up to a sustainable level. This is the only way I am able to think of exercise as enjoyable rather than another "chore" that needs to be done. Thanks to your informative video Im encouraged to keep moving and healthy.

At 71 now i’m doing intermittent exercises all day every day with small gains but consistent . If the gain is just maintaining the strength balance ability as day before that is a gain .

Very instructive and useful video. Thank you. I would like to add a quick comment on sarcopenia: I read that the condition mostly "targets" the fast twitch muscle fibers, those that allow to muster some power, i.e. generate muscular force quickly. Elderly people loose a lot of these fast twitch muscle mass, which as a consequence does not allow them to manage the production of enough muscle power when they need power. An example is when an elderly stumbles and looses balance while walking, their legs will not generate sufficient power to recover balance during the next step or two; this usually leads to a fall. It is then important to incorporate in an appropriate training program exercises that help retain the fast twitch muscle fiber mass.

Merci beaucoup ❤️🙏

00:00 💪 Sarcopenia, characterized by muscle loss with age, can lead to increased risks of falls, reduced physical capacity, and diminished enjoyment of life. 01:39 😓 Noticeable decline in muscle strength, fatigue, and diminished physical performance are early signs of sarcopenia. 03:28 📉 Loss of muscle mass and replacement by body fat contribute to the physical appearance of sarcopenia. 03:51 🩺 Healthcare professionals can diagnose sarcopenia through physical assessment, without the need for extensive tests. 05:26 ⏳ Sarcopenia can be prevented or slowed down through regular exercise, adequate protein intake, hydration, and quality sleep. 07:47 🏋‍♂ Regular resistance training and maintaining adequate protein intake are key to preventing sarcopenia. 11:12 💊 While no medication specifically reverses sarcopenia, ongoing research targets substances like myostatin and activin receptors. 13:55 🤝 Supporting a loved one with sarcopenia involves practical assistance, encouragement, and emotional support, along with staying informed about the condition.

Thanks for this. Older people need to still maintain muscle mass. Being thin and being fit is not necessary mean you don't need to continue growth in muscles. Imagine falling over when you are 70++ and now getting up is almost impossible without help? Why? Just because you can do a marathon doesn't mean your legs will still be strong enough to getting up after a fall. Try this, when your naked in the bathroom, do a 'full squat' all the way down. Next try getting up without holding anything, how did you do? If you have difficulties than your muscles have diminish and need resistance training.

It is definitely great to have an exercise partner and to exercise together. But never use that as an excuse not to exercise. Get out of the house and exercise with nature. Carry along light weights as you walk (if you can) or weights strapped to your wrist. Nature will become our natural motivator when we enjoy our morning walk with or without a human beside us. But we do have to be careful when we walk alone. Take the necessary precautions.

Very Informative. Never heard the term SARCOPENIA, but I am afraid of falling in the trap unless I do something drastic. At 75 +, with very weak muscle mass and being a VEGAN, must explore my options as per your guide line. Thank you for the analysis.

The described symptoms can be very much a result of low thyroid issue or also hyperthyroidism as well. In this state it's very hard to start training or even just get oneself to walk a few hundred meters. It's essential to check ones thyroid function before doing anything else or taking drugs. The next step would be going on ketovore or carnivore lifestyle - no sugar to feed cancer cells and it'll help to prevent muscle loss and will help to reduce weight, and when one feels light, one can do resistance training and go for a walk or even start to swim or lift weights. A good general carnivore advice is about 100g of protein a day, which is about 500g of meat or fish. But it won't work if you don't eat the same amount or slightly more of fat with it! We need fat to digest that protein and for our hormones to be productive. That fat contains in fatty meat and fish, in eggs, and one can add good butter and coconut fat or oil, or/and olive oil of excellent quality. It's very advisable to start slowly increasing ones protein and fat intake, like some 10g a week, or you will just feel that was too much. Apple cider in a glas of water and enzymes can help digesting. Don't push yourself to reach that 100g protein/fat goal if your gut isn't ready. One could try eating more grilled fish, egg-salmon-avocado creme or chicken breast soufflé, which can be digested easier. One can use a macro calculator which helps to find own protein/fat ratio.

Exercise and walking is my passion, some years ago I stopped going to gym. However continuing exercise and walking as both habits are healthy and rejuvenate our body and mind. Thanks for your video with good info doctor. 🎉

It's important to maximize muscle mass when you're younger, say by age 25-30, then do your best to maintain it as you. It's much harder to build muscle as you age so the more you start with the better off you are.

Thanks a lot :)

My wife and I were very unfit when I was fifty, the typical sarcopenia trajectory, but we bought a couple of cheap bikes and have been keen cyclists every since, every holiday is skiing or cycling. I’m 79 this month and yesterday we cycled 33km with 800 metres vertical climb (20 miles and 2,500 feet). I haven’t noticed any age related drop in performance so far. I was no more tired at the end or today than I would have been ten years ago, maybe twenty. Most people lose muscle mass as they age more because they do less exercise as their lifestyle changes and because of peer pressure, but it is largely reversible. For elite athletes sarcopenia is undoubtedly age related but for most of us who are nowhere near our potential fitness it is mainly lack of exercise and our diet.

That provides a temptation to skip it altogether. Sorry. It is not your fault. It is ours. But your accomodation would be appreciatied. But other than that one LITTLE thing, this is a FANTASTIC video! Thank you!

Where is the download? Very good and useful video. Sharing with friends and family

I'm glad you like it.

I think it is also related to mental health.

I don't think most people realise that you lose 1% of muscle mass every year after 50, so just to stay the same you must weight train. I couldn't bear going to the gym so we have free weights at home that I can use. Also re excercise generally, if you don't have a smart watch you can still track your steps on your phone using its inbuilt health app and by having a daily target you are motivated to reach that. I cycle to work 5 days a week but it's amazing how few calories are lost by excercise so unless you cut calorie intake you do need to do more than the minimum excercise suggested. Eating after excercise burns twice as many calories as eating before, apparently. Intermittent fasting can also help in conjunction re weight loss, the body also needs a break from constant grazing.

Good morning Dr , thanh you ery much 😘

You are welcome.

I am 64 and have ehlers-danlos syndrome and can do very little except walk a little. Muscle fatigue happens very quickly. I also have Tarlov cyst disease. Everything I do makes me sore! It's a vicious cycle. I do housework and laundry but that is it.

Maybe ask Dr Furlan if isometric body muscle contractions you can do with out weights or gym machines with help. Also have you tried elastic therabands that come in different tensions strengths. However they do eventually snap and break with regular use or left in hot garages etc. I cannot image your challenge, but I will pray for you too. For physical exercise is of little exercise in this life only, but godly exercise by believing in Jesus Christ will strengthen your soul with the power of the Holy Spirit to do the good works he has chosen you to do as you will inherit eternal life and a perfect glorified body in Christ Jesus. Be blessed and peace unto you

Thank you for sharing that.

I used to be superfit at age 65 until June 2022. I used to benche press 75KG and sometimes ride my road push bike for 160km. But in August 2022 my neck and back started to hurt badly mainly due to traumas caused by negligent drivers runing into me while riding my push bike. Currently I have multiple neck discs' thinning, bulges, facet joint issues which cause extreme pain and prevent me from exercising properly. I would love to do my gym and bicycle like before but I can't due to the chronic intense pain. I read your book on pain and its management but the pain I have is quite severe. How can I get back in to exercise without causing flareups? Thanks.
