Muscle mass naturally declines with age, but strength training can help slow that loss.
Light weights, resistance bands, and bodyweight exercises like sit to stands help maintain the strength needed for daily tasks. Work at a comfortable pace and focus on good form.
Pin Tip
Look for senior strength classes at local community centers or gyms.
