Strength Training

in your 70s

The safety of a strength program in a controlled and professionally supervised environment becomes crucial in your 70s and beyond.


Form must be just-right to protect the body’s structures. The natural loss and atrophy of muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, accelerates in this decade. But that doesn’t mean you cannot still build strength and muscle tone, while improving flexibility, range of motion, balance and coordination. A strong core and legs are the building blocks to moving safely and confidently through your senior years.

 

Strength training supports bone density and strength, which helps prevent injuries and facilitates mobility and healthier aging.
