Strength training is not just for bodybuilders; many studies show benefits for aging adults. Lifting weight builds strength, balance and stamina reducing the risk of falls. It also helps maintain bone density, so they’re less likely to break or fracture. A higher muscle mass means you burn more calories simply going about your daily routine. Building muscle also helps your body regulate weight and metabolism. Consult your doctor about any cautions or considerations. It is a good idea to start with a trainer to help you build your practice.
