When we hit 50+, we start to lose muscle and bone mass more rapidly. Aging, coupled with poor diet and lack of mobility/strength training, puts us in a precarious position: increasing the likelihood for injury, fractures and a diminished quality of life. WE DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS!! This is more important now than ever. We strengthen our muscles/bones through resistance: weights, resistance bands, body weight, gravity and tempo. You must CHALLENGE the muscles to increase strength and consequently improve bone mass.
Equipment: resistance bands and light weights (cans or bottles will do!)
Difficulty: 4-6/10
