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.
