The Benefits of Strength Training at Any Age


Strength training is often associated only with people wanting visible muscle gains, but its benefits go far beyond looks. Building muscle helps protect your joints, improves bone density and significantly lowers the risk of falls over the years.

You don't need to lift heavy weights to feel these benefits: bodyweight exercises or resistance bands, done consistently two to three times a week, already produce noticeable results in everyday functional strength. It's never too late to start, whatever your age.
