Why Strength Training Is the Ultimate Anti-Aging Tool

Forget creams, miracle supplements, or detox teas—if you want to stay young, start lifting.

Here’s why:

• Muscle protects your joints and bones

• Strength training keeps your metabolism higher as you age

• Lifting improves balance and reduces injury risk

• It boosts testosterone and growth hormone naturally
  

Every rep is a deposit in your “future-you” health account.

Pro Tip:

Muscle Is Youth

Think of muscle like armor: it keeps you moving, looking sharp, and performing with confidence.

Stay strong = stay young.

Question from Our Readers:

“Am I too old to start lifting weights?”

– Ray, 59, from Boston

Never.

Studies show men in their 60s and 70s can build new muscle and improve strength dramatically when they begin resistance training.

Start with:

• Dumbbells or machines

• Bodyweight basics (pushups, squats, planks)

• 2–3 sessions per week

Go slow, get your form right, and the results will come.

Fit Trivia: Which 90s baseball comedy showed players doing outrageous “conditioning drills” like push-ups in the outfield and beer-can curls in the locker room?

Answer: Major League II (1994)! The cult-classic sequel leaned into hilarious “training” montages, reminding us that while not all workouts are serious, attitude and effort always matter.
