@bdccarpenter: Deadlifting at 70 years old. I saw this amazing video showing the progress of a woman with arthritis, going from struggling to walk to now deadlifting over 100kg (220lbs). This is an amazing video but I think it is actually even more amazing than most people realise. Resistance training is great for health and longevity, especially as you get older. It isn’t just about young people trying to get muscles, it can help offset frailty and sarcopenia. It can help keep people stronger and more mobile in their later years, decreasing the risk of falls, fractures and broken bones. Special shout out to weightliftermummy (I can’t find on TT) who is showing people that the gym is for everyone. #deadlifts #deadlifting #sarcopenia #exercise #womeninthegym

There's a whole ginormous gym near me that while open to all, specifically targets older people. The older, the better. They have in house physiotherapy and everything.

I’m in my 40s and need to get into lifting again. I need to get physio help first. My knee hurts when I squat no matter how careful I am.

I started weight training in my 40s bc I didn’t want to be huffing and puffing in a spin class during g a pandemic. I can’t overstate how much my life and health has improved since. Being able to just pick heavy shit up and walk across a room makes a massive difference in my everyday existence.

I've been weight training since my teens, I'm 56 now and still doing it. I'll never stop doing it though my right hip joint is starting to disagree with me 😄.❤️💪

Can anyone recommend how I can motivate myself to lift? I have access to weights at home but it’s so stressful doing workouts with the kiddos running around. Can’t go to a gym because I have no childcare. Tips?

I lift to prevent my osteopenia getting worse, but hopefully I'm still going strong when I'm this lady's age!
