Fit & Healthy Buffalo- Fitness Success After 40

  Ready for a mind-blowing stat? Between the ages of 30 and 60, the average adult will gain 1 lb of weight and lose ½ lb of muscle every year! That’s a total gain of 30 lbs of fat and a loss of 15 lbs of muscle ... … and even though that only accounts for a 15-pound shift on the scale, it amounts to a MAJOR change in your body composition.
