Even More Reasons to Lift Weights
after 40
Sometimes we like to share a few of the countless reasons why
people over 40 should strength train regularly.
You might know some of them. It helps keep you at a healthy
weight, for instance. And it preserves muscle mass, which we tend
to lose as we get older.
We have plenty more where those came from! Here are some.
1. It reduces joint pain and stiffness. Strengthening the muscles
around your knees, hips, and shoulders takes pressure off the
joints, easing arthritis and improving mobility.
2. It improves posture. Stronger back and core muscles pull your
shoulders back, open your chest, and help you stand taller.
3. It helps you sleep better. That means better mood, more
energy, and easier weight management.
4. It strengthens your immune system, which naturally weakens as
you age.
5. It keeps you self-sufficient. Getting up off the floor,
carrying groceries, climbing stairs … strength makes all of these
easier for longer.
Now, seriously, that’s just scratching the surface. Book your
