Strength training is having a major moment right now, especially when it comes to longevity and healthy aging. That’s because we naturally lose muscle mass and power with age, a process known as sarcopenia, which can affect everything from posture and balance to joint health and mobility.
It can also slow your metabolism and make everyday tasks feel more challenging than they used to be. Muscle mass is closely linked to how independent and mobile you’ll remain at 60, 70, 80 and beyond.
