Seniors and Strength Training
Seniors who aren’t engaged in regular strength training are missing out on one of the most effective things they can do to stay active and independent. Strength training can keep sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) at bay, keep bones and joints strong and supple, prevent falls, combat depression and anxiety, and prevent cognitive decline.
Getting Started with Strength Training
For seniors who are new to strength training, it’s important to focus on just getting started. Many seniors may think strength training is only for the young. But, nothing can be further from the truth! If anything, strength training becomes more and more important as we age.
To get started, keep it simple and begin with just two 30-minute workouts per week. Most people can commit to one hour a week no matter what.
