Strength training is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle, particularly for older adults. As we age, our bodies undergo natural changes that can lead to a decline in muscle mass, bone density, and overall physical function. These changes can have a profound impact on our quality of life, making it more difficult to perform daily tasks, maintain independence, and enjoy the activities we love. However, engaging in regular strength training exercises can help mitigate these age-related changes and promote optimal health and well-being in later life.

This is more than a moral responsibility; this is a legal obligation.
