Consistent Movement and Minimal Strength Training for Fitness Maintenance
Consistently engaging in daily movement and giving oneself permission to not have an 'all or nothing' mentality towards exercise has been essential in maintaining the speaker's fitness journey. Research indicates that just one 30-minute strength training workout every two weeks is sufficient to prevent muscle loss associated with aging. Furthermore, the volume of exercise required to maintain muscle is significantly lower than that needed to build muscle. This underscores the importance of strength training as the most effective form of exercise for maintaining muscle mass and overall health, highlighting the minimal effort required for fitness maintenance.
