Their average age was 90. Their leg strength increased 174%!!🔥
So why are we still afraid of strength training after 65?
🔬 In a small study published in JAMA, nine adults with an average age of 90 completed eight weeks of supervised strength training—three times a week. Their strength in the targeted thigh muscles increased by an average of 174%.
An encouraging example of how we can continue to get stronger as we age.
Yet we hear it all the time:
“Trainers push too hard.”
“What if I get hurt?”
“My doctor told me to be careful.”
Being careful shouldn’t mean becoming inactive.
