This 4-week introduction to strength training is your easy and no-excuses guide to increased strength and better health. Fitness coach, Karina Inkster has designed a simple yet comprehensive strength-training program for older adults that can be done at home or at the gym.
Strength training becomes increasingly important as we get age and most older adults aren’t doing enough. Our 4-week beginner’s strength guide is an effective way to make sure that you function well (both in physical activities and in daily life), prevent injury and live independently well into old age. Losing some muscle mass and bone density is part of the natural, normal aging process but strength training is the best way to slow down this process. The added bonus: strength training can help you lose weight and add years to your life.
What’s Inside
- A program that gets you strength training 3 days a week for approximately 30 minutes each day, and includes a flexibility, mobility and recovery circuit
- Easy-to-follow exercises with photos showing you how to perform each move
