Over 40 and NOT strength training? 5 reasons why you should 👇

1️⃣ 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀. As we age, we lose muscle mass. (sarcopenia) Strength training helps slow this down, keeping you strong and agile. 💪 

2️⃣ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆. Lifting weights puts stress on bones, which helps increase their density. This is essential for preventing osteoporosis and reduces the risk of fractures later in life. 🦴 

3️⃣ 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺. Strength training can increase your metabolic rate. This helps you burn more calories even when you're not exercising. 🔥 

4️⃣ 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴. Strength training stimulates feel-good hormones like endorphins, which can help combat stress, anxiety, and depression. 😊 

5️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀. Research shows that regular strength training can lower the risks of developing heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. 🏥 

Don't let age hold you back.
