Myths on Seniors & Strength Training

Myth vs Fact

Number 1 of 5.  

Myth:  Strength training is for young people only.

FACT:  Nearly everyone can benefit from strength training.  Older adults who participate in strength training programs have improved self-confidence and self-esteem, as well as more muscle mass and greater bone density.  Besides making you stronger, strength training may help ease arthritis pain and improve blood glucose control.
