Hey MPPT’ers,
We talk a lot about strength training around here, but let’s look at what the research is actually showing about how it affects your body as you age.
The science is clear.
Strength training doesn’t just slow down age-related decline. It can actually reverse parts of it. Studies show resistance training can help preserve muscle quality and even slow biological aging, even if you don’t start until later in life.
Here’s what recent research says:
• Muscle and strength matter for longevity
Regular strength training is linked to a lower risk of premature death and better metabolic health. This isn’t just about fitness, it’s about long-term health and independence.
• It protects your brain and body
Lifting increases blood flow to the brain and supports cognitive function. Some research even shows it can help slow memory decline and reduce dementia risk.
• It helps with bones, balance, and everyday movement
This is one of the biggest reasons we do what we do here. Strength work builds bone density, improves stability, and keeps people strong enough to move well and live fully.
• It doesn’t take much time to see benefits
Just 30–60 minutes a week of resistance training has been shown to make a measurable difference. If you’re showing up here a few times a week, you’re already stacking serious benefits.
So if someone you love isn’t lifting yet, this is your chance to pass this info along. Let them know it’s not too late to start. In fact, there’s never been a better time.
