Strength training isn’t optional after 60 — it’s essential.
If you’re over 60, aim for at least 3 strength training sessions a week. That frequency is enough to trigger real, lasting change: it slows bone density loss and helps protect against osteoporosis, rebuilds the muscle mass we naturally lose with age, and keeps joints stable and mobile so everyday movements — stairs, groceries, getting up off the floor — stay easy instead of effortful.
The muscle and bone you build in your 60s and beyond is directly tied to independence later: stronger muscles mean better balance and fewer falls, and denser bones mean fewer fractures if a fall does happen.
It’s never too late to start, and it’s one of the highest-leverage things you can do for your long-term health.
Move Well Healths Longevity Program was designed to take the guesswork out of your exercise routine. Each week you get 3 workouts carefully designed for folks over 60 that you can do anytime, anywhere.
