As we get older, bone and muscle mass starts to deteriorate at a faster rate, which means strength building becomes even MORE important post 50. Buy a few heavier weights in your home gym to integrate strength training into your movement regime. I add options to make more or less challenging, but I have just one requirement - tire out those muscles, that is where change happens!!
Equipment: 2 barbells or 1 heavier weight, such as a kettlebell
Difficulty: 5/10 (options for more or less challenge)
