Why? Because everyone needs real training! Unfortunately, almost no one is aware of this. People don't think about the consequences of a sedentary and comfortable daily life. If they did, the decision to train regularly would be made sooner and more consciously.<\/p>\n<p>Starting at age 25, the human body begins to lose muscle strength unless this process is actively counteracted through strength training. Initially, the body loses 1-15% of muscle mass; in the years that follow, that figure rises to 40-50%.<\/p>\n<p>The first sign that something is wrong is pain. On average, by the age of 40, the pain becomes genuinely disruptive. At this point, people are often already accustomed to incorrect movement patterns because certain daily activities can only be performed to a limited extent. Moving becomes increasingly difficult and more and more painful.<\/p>\n<p>At retirement age, normally a time to enjoy, we become dependent on outside help \u2013 not only because of physical but also because of mental decline.<\/p>\n<p>The WHO has recognized sarcopenia, the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength with aging, as a clinical condition. They state that there is only one remedy: strength training. We consider it our duty as an industry to make everyone aware of this. Everyone is capable of achieving a better quality of life through targeted, individual training. And that right up to a very advanced age. The graph below shows the loss of muscle strength by age and how this can subsequently affect everyone's quality of life. Take action in time and age vitally.<\/p>\n<p>Better quality of life at any age<br \/>\nPeople are moving less and less. Our society is focused on comfort. If you want to live to an older age without physical and mental limitations and keep your quality of life high for a long time, there is no other alternative than good training. The basis of good training consists of three things: muscle, mobility, and brain training.<\/p>\n<p>Exercise alone cannot save you from age-related breakdown of muscle and cartilage. For that, you need strength training. Targeted and controlled strength training with measured growth stimuli makes everyone stronger and healthier.<\/p>\n<p>However, muscle strength alone does not protect against pain. Sitting for hours, for example, shortens the muscles and fascia. Regular mobility and muscle-length training will help keep the fascia and muscle chains flexible and supple, thereby preventing pain.<\/p>\n<p>Every physical training session taxes the brain more than, for example, your daily work at the computer or solving crossword puzzles. Regular physical training helps prevent dementia and helps maintain independence and freedom of movement into old age.<\/p>\n<p>Curious about the benefits our approach can offer you?
