Fitness For Older Women – 10 Years Younger With Strength Training



Women’s fitness is not the only field of body awareness or twenties. Find out how changes within a group of postmenopausal women after a training program led to the activities of their children – including skating and rafts through the Grand Canyon.

Strength training has a lot of advantages for women, especially for women aged 35-40 years and over. At the age of forty, women generally begin to lose bone

density and muscle mass. One study at Tufts University, designed by the author of “The Strong Woman Remains Young,” Myriam Nelson PhD, found that instead of losing bone density and muscle mass, women were younger than 15 to 20 years after one year of weight training. They acquired bone density, and their strength tests matched women in their 30s and 40s.

These women did not follow a diet, but in the end they began to get thinner and some lost clothes or two sizes, and all of them replaced fat with muscles. Because muscles weigh more than fat, that’s why they looked thinner, although scales may not have changed much.
