DON’T BE AFRAID TO LIFT WEIGHTS

Sticking to just jogging or cycling? We shouldn’t be afraid of strength work. Research shows it improves arthritis and bone density and may delay dementia. So, we need to incorporate resistance training into our routine, whatever our age. A small set of dumbbells is fine, or we can even use our bodyweight by doing squats and press-ups etc.

Everyone finds fitness or aspects of fitness at a different time in their lives, but it is so important for our health and happiness as we get older.
