H26: Strength Training Safely and Preventing Injury
January 11, 2020 · 9:00-11:00 am
Description: If your workout doesn't include strength training, then you're missing out. Strength training helps ward off age-related muscle loss, keep your bones strong, promote balance and mobility, prevent falls, and combat depression and cognitive decline. But if you didn't perform much strength training in your younger years (and even if you did), hitting the weight room now can be intimidating. Don't sweat it! With some simple tips and pointers, you can approach strength training in a safe, effective and fun way that will keep you strong for life.
Purpose: Review safety with free weights and body weight along with injury prevention
