Content: They divided both the younger and older participants into 3 groups. The first group stopped training altogether. The second group reduced their strength training to one-third (around twice a week) of the amount they had been performing. And the third group reduced their strength training to one-ninth (around once a week) of the amount. Unsurprisingly, the first group who didn't lift lost muscle mass and strength, regardless of age. But the younger participants in the second group actually continued to make gains while working out twice a week and maintained by hitting it once a week. Unfortunately, the older participants were only able to maintain their gains. And the participants who worked out twice a week were able to maintain better than those who only lifted once. The Bottom Line
Of course, fitness isn't a one-size-fits-all. You have to do whatever works best for your body and lifestyle.
