One of the less pleasant aspects of getting older is that our bones lose density. Lifting weights helps slow this process and also reduces the risk of osteoporosis.
None of us want to have fractures. When we put controlled stress on our bones by lifting heavy objects, we cause them to get stronger and to maintain their density longer because they adapt to the challenges we give them.
Personally, I am NOT going to be one of those frail little old ladies. I am going to be as powerful as possible as long as possible. Who’s with me?
