Strength Training Isn’t Optional After 50

What if strength training is the missing piece you’ve been overlooking after 50?

As we age, our bodies naturally lose muscle—unless we do something about it. After 50, strength training isn’t about lifting too heavy, or becoming a bodybuilder.  It’s about staying independent, confident, and capable in everyday life.

Did you know strength training helps you:

• Maintain muscle and bone density

• Protect your joints

• Improves balance and posture

• Boosts metabolism and energy

• Helps you feel strong doing everyday things like carrying groceries, getting up off the floor, walking up stairs

There is good news You don’t need hours in the gym. You don’t need complicated equipment. You just need a smart, age-appropriate plan that meets you where you are.

Not sure where to start? Start here:

Try 2 strength workouts this week using bodyweight or dumbbells.
Pick a weight that feels “ooh yes!” by the last few reps—but still with good form.

You don’t need fancy equipment

Your bodyweight counts, and dumbbells can do the trick—especially for women 50+.

Examples that work really well:

• Squats or sit-to-stands

• Rows (with dumbbells or bands)

• Chest press / push-up variations

• Deadlifts / hip hinges

• Overhead press

• Core + balance work
