Muscles lose size and strength with age, resulting
in physical weakness and a variety of degenerative
problems. But muscle loss may be largely avoided
with regular strength training, and a large amount
of muscle tissue already lost can be replaced,
regardless of your age. Strength Training Past
50 presents research-based guidelines to help
anyone over 50 develop and perform a sound, safe
strength training program.
Strength Training Past 50 uses data collected
and analyzed in a five-year study that examined
the effects of regular strength training on previously
sedentary adults. Results showed that regardless
of gender, age, or physical condition, the 1,132
men and women who participated in the strength
exercise program made significant improvements
in terms of added muscle, lost fat, and reduced
resting blood pressure. In fact, in this group,
in which the age range was 21 to 80, participants
over 60 responded just as well to strength exercise
as everyone else.
Research clearly shows that you’re never too
old to get great benefits from strength training.
Strength Training Past 50 explains and shows the
most effective way for mature adults to work their
muscles by presenting
- specific strength tests
- 9 safety essentials
- 39 age-appropriate exercises
- a 10-week workout plan
- personalized programs for increasing muscle
size, strength, or endurance
