Training Power and Strength Throughout Life

Forget the myth that strength training is just for bodybuilders or athletes. It’s for everyone—at every stage of life. In fact, as we age, training for power and strength becomes even more critical. Muscle mass naturally declines with age (about 3-5% per decade after 30), but here’s the kicker: you can fight back.

Strength training doesn’t just keep you toned—it keeps you functional. Want to carry your groceries, climb stairs, or chase after your kids (or grandkids) without gasping for air? Build strength.

And let’s talk power—the ability to move quickly and explosively. This isn’t just for sprinters; power is what helps you catch yourself when you trip or react in time to avoid a fall.

“But I’m too old for this!” Nope. Research shows that even people in their 70s and 80s can significantly improve strength and power with the right program.
