Aging And Weight Training

It is NEVER too late to get healthy!  
Weight training is a simple addition to your daily routine and does not require a lot of time. However, it is the most important exercise that you can incorporate into your health and fitness routine!
As we age, there are a number of physiological functions that decline; this increases your risk of developing osteoporosis, arthritis, type 2 diabetes and loss of muscle mass. 
Strength training 2–3 days a week can help prepare you to fight these effects of aging. It is a MUST!
It’s never too late to create new habits. Strength training for many people isn’t as fun as walking, spin class, yoga or playing sports. But the short and long term benefits of picking up those weights have proven benefits. 
Such as:
Increased bone density
Stronger ligaments and tendons
But the benefits do not stop there. Muscle allows us to continue to be active, functional and healthy. It’s critical for activity and movement, simply put weight training is critical to our happiness and long term health!
