Fitness for Older Adults: Strength Training Over 50

🧠 Why Strength Training Matters After 50

As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass, bone density, and balance — a process called sarcopenia.
But the good news? Strength training can reverse or slow down these effects.

Regular resistance exercise boosts metabolism, improves posture, and keeps your body strong for daily life.

💡 Experts say adults over 50 who lift weights cut their fall risk by up to 40% and live more active, confident lives.
