If you’re a woman over 40 who doesn’t workout, when’s the last time you raised your arm and waved hello to somebody?  You know what mean? 

As we get older, the skin on our bodies loses it’s elasticity and begins to sag – and there’s no better example than the famous arm that keeps waving.  It’s one of the problem body parts that women over 40 seem to have in common.  And if you’re gained or lost weigh in your life, it’s even worse.  So what’s the solution? 

Remember, your skin is not just sagging because of lack of elasticity, you’re also losing the underlying muscle at the rate of about 1.5% per year.  When you lift weights, you maintain and build muscle. 

When you exercise you’re triceps, all that new muscle pushes up against the skin, filling it out and away goes the wave. 

And not to pick on woman only, the same thing applies to guys – but it usually shows up in the chest.  Not a pretty site.  Two words.  Lift Weights.

Hey, it’s all about moving – do some now so that you can do more, later.
