Seniors And Strength Training

September 22, 2009  •  4 Comments  •  Uncategorized

Duke Medical Health Newsletter reports that 121 studies show older adults can maintain daily activities and independence through some form of progressive strength training.

They also relieve the pain of arthritis, strengthen their bones, reduce the risk of falling and so much more.

I have always said, “If you don’t lift, you don’t last” and these studies clearly support that theory.

PLEASE urge anyone over 60 to lift to live a long, healthy, independent lifestyle.
