Fear of injury is another expressed concern. Let's look at the benefits that can be achieved through a weight resistance program and why age is not a factor when it comes to being more fit.

Regular exercise is one way to help reduce heart attack risk.
Exercise can easily be adapted to target several different health concerns. Whether you are in a wheelchair, use a walker, need to be seated for exercise, or can dance the night away, exercise should be a part of your life. When you keep your muscles strong, you often have better balance and can likely avoid a fall. This helps you maintain an independent and active lifestyle. Muscle strength is gained by overloading the muscles and weight-lifting will increase strength fastest.
