Studies show strength training while losing weight can retain almost 100% of muscle.

Anecdotally, it takes far less strength training than one would expect, too, to maintain muscle mass. From what I've experienced, 30 minutes a week, given sufficient stimulus, is enough.

There are more and more PhD researchers focusing on resistance training these days, and yeah, it turns out the minimum effective dose is waaaaaay lower than we previously thought.

I love this so much, thanks for sharing. I have my own minimum effective dose protocols that I use when life is kicking me in the face but I am going to try these on for size during the coming holiday season.
