Muscle tissue knows not a female body or male body, a young body or an older body...The muscle tissues of the human body are not programmed to maintain a static size.
Quite simply the human body will maintain or increase muscle size when used, or on the negative side the human body will lose muscle mass when not used.
Sadly today our culture is complacent to loss muscle mass & bone density and gain weight...
As we approach and pass the age of 40 a condition know as
Sarcopenia occurs in the human body. The primary effect is the loss of lean muscle mass and an increase of fat tissue throughout the human body.
The additional fat tissue most often develops in the abdominal and buttocks regions in both men and women. Weight lifting training counter acts this aging process by developing more muscle mass and bone density. For every 10 pounds of lean body mass we carry on our bodies, 350 - 500 calories per day is consumed to maintain that body mass.

Mission Statement
My mission is to transfer essential knowledge about diet, nutrition, anatomy and strength training through my services as a Personal Trainer. I will accomplish this by teaching, on a one to one basis, about muscle development and retention in order to accomplish each person’s individual goals.
Karin has been training for 2 months. At a weight of 125 lbs she performs leg presses of 300 lbs at 15 reps, hack squats with 210 lbs at 15 reps, 27 full push ups and 2 sets of dips at 25.
Julie had been lifting for a month and a half. She has squatted 165
lb, performs 230 pounds on leg presses and does 25 full push ups
during her warm up.
Katie is a recent 19 year old grad from Wayzata H.S. She
weighs 120 lbs and stands 5’ 5” tall. Her background has been dance and H.S. cheerleader. After 3 months of weight training she is capable of 45 full push ups, leg presses 250 lbs (15 reps), hack squats 160 lbs (15 reps), and performs bench presses of 60 lbs (10 reps). Her 1RM for a bench press was 85 lbs.
When Terri started Personal Training she could not perform 1 push up. Through a lot of effort on her part she now can do 50 full push ups and
bench press 85 lbs. This is more than most men (even younger men) are capable of
performing.
I believe in training the shoulder area as much as possible.
The Rotor Cuff muscles are easily torn because of lack of proper
conditioning.
The anterior, middle and posterior deltoid, trapezius (traps),
teres major and minor, infraspinatus and rhombids require strength
training to properly support the shoulders.
Excessive exercise also may cause negative effects such as tendon
entrapment and excessive tendon friction (be careful).
Working the shoulders
is important, knowing when to back off or change what you are doing
is equally important. Do not push through shoulder pain!
