Strength training is pretty amazing. Plenty of studies support resistance training in older individuals as promoting muscle mass and strength, as well as improving mobility, mental sharpness, metabolic health, motivation and confidence.
Here is my client Paul deadlifting a personal best of 60kg.
And here’s what he has to say about training:
“Heading towards my mid sixties, I've had weekly sessions with Anthony for over a year now. He makes my regularly changing sessions enjoyable, interesting and testing (obviously) leaving me feeling forty years younger as I leave the gym. As I think someone once said about using muscles and joints in my age group, 'use them or lose them.' I find that as a result of Anthony's sessions, I now feel so much stronger across the board which also leads me to sitting, sleeping and swimming so much better too.”
