Even if you're training?

So if you're training, you're maintaining that.

So this is the average sedentary inactive population.

You lose strength at about 1 to 3% even faster.

Now, if we were to maintain resistance training, that muscle mass would plateau.

So I can't stress this enough.

Although we focused on creatine, if you were to choose one thing to do today is exercise.

And the only form of exercise that really maintains muscle is weight bearing or resistance training.

And if that's the case, you're going to have way more muscle later on in life.

So you can pick up the grandkids.

You can walk those stairs.

You can do more functionality things later on in life.

Can you not just, I don't know, 60 years old, start training then?

You can absolutely.

And you get profound benefits.

You can be 80 or a hundred and you still get benefits.

It's never too late to start.

But one of the things we've already talked about is if you do weight training and add in a little bit of creatine, it gets a bit higher.

If you added in protein, it gets even higher.

So again, nutrition, you know, if exercise is king, the queen is going to be nutrition.
