Why Weight Training Matters
Many women in Encinitas stay active with walking, swimming, or group cardio classes. These are great, but cardio alone cannot stop age-related changes. After 60, women often lose bone density, muscle, balance, and metabolism speed. Weight training helps slow these changes, keeping you strong and independent.
Easy Ways to Get Started
- Begin with light weights or resistance bands
- Focus on daily-life movements like squats or step-ups
- Practice proper form before adding weight
- Add stretching or yoga for joint health
- Increase resistance slowly with guidance
