⚖️💪 WHEN YOU LOSE WEIGHT, WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY LOSING?

We tend to celebrate weight loss with one number:

The number on the scale.

But losing 10 kg of mostly body fat is very different from losing 10 kg that includes a significant amount of muscle.

And new research gives us another reason to pay attention to that difference.

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis looked at people who lost at least 10% of their body weight through lifestyle interventions, incretin-based medications such as GLP-1 drugs, or bariatric surgery.

The researchers found an important difference in how much fat-free mass was lost along the way.

In interventions combining diet AND exercise, only about 8% of the total weight lost was fat-free mass.

With diet alone, it was around 22%.

And in the studies involving incretin-based medication or bariatric surgery, roughly one third of the weight lost was fat-free mass.

⚠️ This does NOT mean that GLP-1 medication “eats your muscles.”

The studies and people involved were different, so we can't simply compare these percentages as if everyone had followed the same program.

But it does highlight something we think is incredibly important:

Weight loss should never only be about becoming lighter.

Muscle matters.

It helps us remain strong and independent.
It supports our metabolism and glucose regulation.
It allows us to move, work, play and participate in life.
And it becomes increasingly valuable as we get older.

So whether weight loss happens through lifestyle change, medication, surgery — or a combination — we should be asking:

How are we protecting muscle while losing fat?

That means thinking about adequate nutrition and protein, recovery and, importantly:

💪 Resistance training.

The goal isn't simply:

⬇️ Lose weight.

It's:

⬇️ Lose excess fat.
💪 Preserve muscle.
❤️ Protect long-term health.

Because the best result isn't just a smaller body.

It's a lighter body that remains strong.

💪 GETTING OLDER DOESN’T MEAN YOUR TRAINING SHOULD GET EASIER.

As we get older, we often hear the opposite:

“Take it easy.”
“Don't train too hard.”
“Just keep moving.”

But our muscles don't suddenly stop responding to a meaningful training stimulus because we pass 50, 60 or 70.

A new systematic review and meta-analysis combined 18 randomized studies involving 1,283 adults aged 50+ and compared higher-intensity resistance training with low-to-moderate intensity training.

The result?

Higher-intensity resistance training produced greater improvements in leg strength.

And importantly, the analysis did not find convincing evidence that the higher-intensity training caused more adverse events or falls.

That doesn't mean everyone should simply lift the heaviest weight they can find.

Quite the opposite.

As we age, how we train becomes increasingly important.

The resistance needs to be appropriate.
The movement needs to be controlled.
The exercise needs to fit the individual.
And recovery matters.

But the training stimulus still needs to be strong enough to tell the body:

“I need this muscle. Keep it.”

That is exactly why strength training becomes more important as we age — not less.

At fit20, we train slowly, safely and under personal supervision, allowing the muscles to work at a high intensity without fast or explosive movements.

Just 20 minutes, once a week.

Because getting older may change how intelligently we train.

It doesn't change our ability to become stronger. 💪

Vier jaar geleden werd in het wetenschappelijk tijdschrift Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport het fit20-onderzoek gepubliceerd. Een bijzonder onderzoek: nog niet eerder werden binnen de sport- en bewegingswetenschap de trainingsdata van zoveel verschillende fit20 beoefenaars geanalyseerd, over zo’n lange periode en met zo’n uniform trainingsprotocol. Het is het grootste onderzoek in zijn soort.

Onder leiding van ass. prof. James Steele van Solent University werden de trainingsgegevens van bijna 15.000 fit20-ers geanalyseerd. Zij hadden tussen de één en zeven jaar fit20 gedaan.

En de resultaten? Geweldig. Ongeacht leeftijd, geslacht of beginniveau werd iedereen 30 tot 50% sterker. En misschien nog belangrijker: die krachttoename bleef behouden.

‘50% is echt een substantiële verbetering in spierkracht. Zelfs 30% is al een enorme verbetering. Het is zeer aannemelijk dat dit een heel positief effect heeft op je leven en je gezondheid,’ zei Steele over deze resultaten.

Welke andere fitness of krachttraining methode is zo uitgebreid en nauwkeurig onderzocht? Geen enkele voor zover wij weten. Hoogste tijd dus om de voorspelbare sceptische reactie op fit20 te veranderen in bewondering of op z’n minst nieuwsgierigheid!

Wist je dat spieren veel meer doen dan ons kracht geven? Spieren zijn 'messengers'! En als je spieren sterker maakt, roepen ze de rest van het lichaam ook op om sterker en beter te worden.

En het mooiste is...het maakt dus écht niet uit hoe oud je bent!
