To prevent loss of muscle mass your goal should be to build muscle mass. This is obtained through exercise; specifically weight lifting or just something that keeps you active. As you age it may be more difficult to engage in the activities you used to. It is recommended that elderly people par take in Tai Chi to keep up muscle strength. Do not do yoga if trying to gain strength. Yoga makes you flexible and it feels good but it decreases your muscle tone making it more difficult to build up strength.
Hope this helps!
