Getting Started with Strength After 50

Getting Started with Strength After 50

As we age, we naturally lose muscle, strength and bone density. But the good news is that strength training is one of the most effective ways to maintain your independence, improve your balance and keep doing the things you enjoy.

Led by our Accredited Exercise Physiologists, this practical session will explain why strength training is so important after 50 and how you can get started safely, even if you’ve never stepped into a gym before.

We’ll cover:

• What changes in our muscles and bones as we age
• Why strength training is essential for healthy ageing
• How strength helps with everyday activities
• Current exercise recommendations for adults over 50
• The safest way to begin a strength program
• Why it’s never too late to build muscle and confidence
