Over the years, the body naturally undergoes external and internal changes. Among them is a decrease in collagen levels in the skin, which causes sagging.

However, physical educator and influencer Aurelio Alfieri explains that muscle flaccidity has more to do with behavior than aging, and in addition to aesthetics, it also affects health.

“Muscles become weak when we don’t use them, and the only way in the world to strengthen them is to exercise. This is the defining condition for it to become tougher.”

A study conducted by Aurelio among women aged 45 to 75 found that out of 12,000 Brazilian women, 11,327,000 reported that they suffered from body flabbiness, 615 said they did not care, and another 819 said they were not sure about correct choice. opinion.

“The level of dissatisfaction is very high, but the good news is that simple exercises through quick workouts are enough to significantly increase muscle mass,” Alfieri guarantees.

Workouts for just five, ten or even 15 minutes provide excellent strengthening results. “And when a person has stronger muscles, in addition to aesthetic results, he gets a significant improvement in well-being and health.”

Strong Muscles Build Endurance and Character

One thing is for sure: a person with strong muscles can be much more dynamic in everyday life, climbing stairs or going down steeper streets without any problems. And if daily activities become easier, then the location is much greater, regardless of age.

The more sedentary a person is, the faster he perceives evolution, because in such cases the body can adapt very quickly, the specialist says.

“Many people complain of lack of energy due to being overweight or having weak muscles. These muscles, when they are stronger, burn more calories. People with weak muscles who don’t exercise have a very low metabolism and put on weight for any reason,” Alfieri explains.

The influencer also warns of a direct link between flabbiness and health.

“Those with stronger muscles have greater resistance to disease and a much greater ability to recover. If a person becomes lethargic, he becomes weak. If he is weak, he has little character. And if you have little location, you move less. It can cause depression.”

Followers talk about improvements after training

Flavia Medeiros, who follows Aurelio on social media, says that after the age of 40, he gained weight and sagging began to bother him. After starting the exercises suggested by the professional, daily life improved by 100%.

“Thanks to the exercises, I lost size and became more elastic. The pain in my knees also decreased, and I became more willing and happy,” she says.

The same thing was noticed by Norma-Lucia, who after a few weeks felt a big difference. “Due to menopause, I felt muscle weakness, especially in the thighs, lethargy. Now, after a month of continuous training, my muscles have strengthened and my legs have come into tone. I went back to shorts and now I can hold my granddaughters on my knees without feeling lower back pain,” she celebrates.
