Let’s be real—”building muscle at our age isn’t always easy”. But as Cathy reminds us, it is possible. And not only possible to build muscle after 50, but life-changing.
When she first came to CrossFit Torque, Cathy wasn’t eating much protein. In fact, she realized she had gotten used to not being hungry—which meant she often skipped meals or didn’t fuel her body the way it needed.
Then everything shifted.
She joined our ForeverFit program, did an Evolt body composition scan, met with one of our Nutrition Coaches and walked away with actionable steps.
“When I first started focusing on getting 30 grams of protein at every meal—and doing it consistently—I started to see some muscle. And it felt so good.”
For Cathy, protein was the game changer. Once she started fueling properly, she noticed:
She explained it simply: “The more I did it, the easier it became. I never miss meals anymore.”
And that consistency in nutrition paired with strength training? That’s where the results come from.
Here’s the truth: as we age, we naturally lose muscle if we don’t actively work to maintain it. That’s why strength training and protein are so important—especially for women.
Getting enough protein (around 25–30 grams per meal) supports:
Just like Cathy, once you fuel your body the right way, strength stops feeling like an uphill battle—and starts feeling empowering.
Cathy’s story is proof: you don’t need to overhaul your life to start feeling stronger. Sometimes it’s as simple as showing up, lifting some weights, and making sure you’re fueling your body with enough protein.
