25% of Physical Capacity Lost by Age 50!

If you live a sedentary lifestyle… by the age of 50 you will have lost approximately 25% of your physical capacity (that’s your independence we are talking about here).  That’s exactly 1% of lost physical capacity per year from the age of 25 to 50 years of age.  That’s pretty disturbing for independent minded people!

Now contrast that lost 25% physical capacity with only 3.9% lost physical capacity of those who remained vigorously active until the age of 50.  Now that’s impressive!

To reiterate, sedentary individuals lose 25% of their abilities by the age of 50… while active individuals lose less than 4% of their abilities by the age of 50!

That’s plenty of reason to push on or get started!
