I am 70 years young and was diagnosed with DDS and osteopenia about 1 year ago. I have always done aerobic type exercises but little strength training. My spine and joint doctor prescribed physical therapy and through this I realized the importance of strength training. I do feel stronger and now have less pain than before starting my 3 days a week strength training along with 7 days a week walking 4 to 5 miles. Thank you for your educational videos.
Thank you gentlemen. I couldn’t agree more. Even if some strength training helps retain what muscle we have let alone help build a bit it’s going to be extremely beneficial . I have quite a few ageing family members getting into their 80’s and a couple of my uncles have been farmers and builders and it’s clear to see how much healthier they are and cope with daily activities because they have strong bodies compared to some others . One of my uncles is 81 and can still dig all day and push wheelbarrows around for hours. I hope I’m as healthy as him at that age .

Weak muscle make joints work harder, strength training is critical
