Ageing and Muscle Loss
Strength training helps you stay strong, steady, and independent as you age — start small and stay consistent.
As we age, it’s natural to lose some muscle mass — a condition called sarcopenia. But regular strength training can help you maintain strength, mobility, and independence.
Benefits of strength training as we age:
Builds and preserves muscle and bone density
Improves balance and coordination, reducing fall risk
Supports weight management and metabolism
Enhances mood and confidence
You don't need a gym — bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, or light weights at home can all make a difference. Start slowly and build safely with proper guidance.
