One of the best ways to stay fit and healthy as you age is to do strength and power training exercises.It is known that when you are in your thirties, you will begin to lose muscle mass.This loss actually contributes to achy joints, the increased risk of injury, and the“middle-age spread” we all fear.What’s more, the older you get, the faster muscle mass loses.It means that eventually, simple tasks like getting out of a chair and climbing stairs can become more difficult.
Strength training can help you build muscles, make you strong, increase your staying power and make everyday activities easier.By combining strength and power training exercises, you’ll not only get stronger, but also improve your reaction speed.As you grow older, that’s critical because it can help prevent falls.Here is a book, Strength and Power Training for All Ages, for your reference.
