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.
