Ten frail nursing home residents, average age 90, were put on a real lifting program. Not chair aerobics. Progressive resistance training, three days a week, for eight weeks.

Their strength went up an average of 174 percent. Scans showed the muscle in their thighs had physically grown by about 9 percent. Their walking speed improved by nearly half.

The oldest person in that study was 96.

It was published in JAMA in 1990, and decades of research since keeps confirming the same thing: muscle responds to training at every age. The machinery that builds it never shuts off. It just sits there waiting for a reason.

So if you're 50, 60, or 70 and telling yourself the window closed, the research says the opposite. The window is open. The people who lose the most muscle with age aren't the ones who started too late. They're the ones who never started.

You don't need a barbell to begin. Bodyweight is enough for months of progress.

Know someone who thinks they're too old to start? Send them this.

Full breakdown of what the research shows and exactly how to start at any age in the comments. ⬇️

I’m always saying to clients, unfortunately you cannot see inside the effects of all the good things (or not so good things) you are doing on a regular basis. You have to trust the process. But this post gives a useful bit of insight!

The boring stuff does work, your body will always do its best for you, are you doing the best you can for your body?

Often it’s things we cannot see that we need to work on. Bones need weight bearing exercises to keep them strong and healthy. If you aren’t strength training, your bone density will naturally decrease. Your bones are crucial to many functions in your body, don’t take them for granted.
