You can turn 40, 50, 60, or older and still get functionally younger and stronger the next 10, 20, 30 years, or more. Strength training is the most effective way for women over 40 to stay young, fit, and strong to enjoy life year after year as they age. Unfortunately, it is too common to see women back off from doing serious workouts as they age and regress to walking as their only exercise.
No matter your age, you can achieve amazing results in your health and lifestyle by improving your fitness level, increasing your physical strength and endurance, and improving your aerobic capacity. Even people in their 80s who start lifting weights can get stronger with each workout. It’s never too late to start.
