Publisher's summary

Strength training is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle, particularly for older adults. As we age, our bodies undergo natural changes that can lead to a decline in muscle mass, bone density, and overall physical function. These changes can have a profound impact on our quality of life, making it more difficult to perform daily tasks, maintain independence, and enjoy the activities we love. However, engaging in regular strength training exercises can help mitigate these age-related changes and promote optimal health and well-being in later life.

The Growing Stronger program, developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Tufts University, is a comprehensive strength training program designed specifically for older adults. This program is based on extensive scientific research and has been proven to be safe and effective for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. By following the Growing Stronger program, older adults can experience a wide range of benefits, including increased muscle strength, improved bone density, enhanced balance and coordination, and greater overall physical function.
