5 Reasons Why Women Over 40 Need Strength Training
After 40, the body begins to change. Learn how strength training preserves muscle, strengthens bones, and slows the aging process.
After 40, the body begins to change: muscles weaken, bones lose density, metabolism slows down. But strength training helps reverse these processes.
1. Preserve Muscles and Strength
Without training, women lose up to 8% of muscle mass per decade. Strength training slows sarcopenia and increases endurance.
2. Strengthen Bones
Weight training reduces the risk of osteoporosis and fractures in mature age.
3. Boost Metabolism
More muscle = higher calorie burn even at rest, less fat accumulation.
4. Reduce Inflammation and Improve Well-being
Training reduces chronic inflammation, improves sleep, mood, and energy levels.
5. Slow Down Aging
Strength training is associated with longer telomeres — a marker of cellular youth. This means: biological age is lower than what's on your ID.
