Result: the fat percentage increases while mass and muscle tone decline gently, resulting in a gradual relaxation of tissue. A good reason to go to Bodysculpt, Grit ™ (Geneva) or circuit training (Lausanne) as soon as possible! Especially as things get tough quickly with a decrease in muscle mass at a rate of 0.5% per year (variable depending on the person) on average from age 30 and, wait for it, 1% from 40 years! Tick ​​tock tick, not a minute more to lose!

True antioxidant, the cardiovascular effort boosts the blood circulation and drains the toxins to a real internal cleaning. Lungs, liver, intestines, skin, kidneys … are thus offered a purification at each cardio-training session while the heart strengthens. Extended over time, the cardio effort burns more calories, promoting weight loss.

Bodybuilding: Effects on Bone and Joint Health

This is the secret of the anti-osteoporosis action of muscle building exercises. Unstoppable! As a bonus, a training carried out in a functional way, by stimulating the muscular chains, makes it possible to preserve a harmonious postural scheme and thus to escape the evil of the century: low back pain. To do for convincing results: provide 2 to 3 fitness sessions each week.
