Movement is Medicine
Every time you lift, push, or pull something, you’re not just training your body—you’re teaching it to stay alive longer and move better.
💚 Strength training is medicine for:
• Arthritis
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Depression
• Balance and mobility issues
Forget the myth that lifting is “dangerous.”
Doing nothing is far more dangerous.

“How Muscles Change with Age—and How Strength Training Fights Back”

“As you age, your muscles don’t just shrink—they change in function and quality. But the body is adaptable, and you can push back with resistance training.”
Key Points to Include:
• After about age 30, we lose ~3–5% of muscle mass every decade if we don’t do anything to slow it down. https://newsinhealth.nih.gov/2025/04/slowing-sarcopenia
• With age you lose both muscle fibers (especially the fast “type II” fibers) and nerve-to-muscle connections. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4066461/
• Strength training helps recruit more motor units, maintain fiber size, and improve neuromuscular control. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3117172/
• In older adults, training at 60–85% of one’s capacity (progressively) leads to gains in both strength and muscle mass. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3117172/

Don’t fear getting “too old to lift.” Tomorrow we show how older adults can still get big wins from strength work.

The elderly need strength training more and more as they grow older to stay mobile for their everyday activities. The goal of training is to reduce the loss of muscle mass and the resulting loss of motor function. The dose-response relationship of ...

Why Strength Training Isn’t Just for the Young

Too many people say, “I’m too old to start lifting weights.”
The truth? You’re too old not to.

Research shows people in their 60s, 70s—even 80s—can build new muscle and regain lost strength with consistent training.

💪 Benefits you’ll notice fast:

Better posture

Less joint pain

Easier daily movement

More energy

A better night’s sleep

Age doesn’t stop progress. Inactivity does.
Start small, move smart, and stay strong.

“Strength Training vs. Cardio — Why We Need Both, but Strength Wins for Longevity”

Cardio gets your heart pumping, but strength training builds the muscle and resilience you’ll carry through life. Here’s how they compare—and why strength is so critical for living long and well.

Key Points to Include:
• Cardio (aerobic) exercise is excellent for heart health, lung capacity, and circulation. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6304477
• Strength (resistance) training improves muscle mass, strength, bone density, and metabolism. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22777332
• A strong body handles stress, disease, and aging better. Strength training is associated with improved functional independence and lower mortality in studies. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6377696
• In older adults, gains in strength and muscle (even modest ones) often translate directly into better balance, fewer falls, more ease in daily tasks. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2892859
• That said, cardio is complementary—not a replacement. A balanced fitness program uses both.

Tomorrow: how age changes muscles and how strength training is your defense.

The effectiveness of resistance exercise for strength improvement among aging persons is inconsistent across investigations, and there is a lack of research synthesis for multiple strength outcomes. The systematic review followed the Preferred ...
