Total Body Strength Workout for Adults

While everyone can benefit from lifting weights, older adults1 can reap even more benefits if they work toward a stronger, healthier body. Having a strong body helps you avoid injuries, falls, pain, and other issues associated with getting older.

For example, you will gradually lose muscle mass as you age if you don't do anything to maintain it.2 When you keep or gain more muscle, you may actually live longer and you'll certainly have a better quality of life.

This total body workout is a great way for older adults to get started with strength training. The exercises focus on building total-body strength with an emphasis on improving balance, stability, and flexibility.
