At Wolfhound Fitness, we are passionate about supporting people at every stage of their health & fitness journey, and so we are delighted to share details of our new strength training class 'Defiance', which is here to support older adults in their quest build and preserve strength, vitality, stability & resilience through professionally led group classes.
Why is Strength Training is so beneficial for Older Adults?
The benefits of strength training go far beyond aesthetics. Resistance training is one of the most effective ways to maintain independence, prevent chronic disease, and enhance overall well-being as we age. Here’s why it’s essential:
-
Preserve Muscle Mass & Strength: As we age, muscle loss (sarcopenia) accelerates, leading to decreased mobility and increased risk of falls. Strength training slows down this process, keeping you strong and capable.
-
Enhance Bone Density: Weight-bearing exercises improve bone mineral density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
-
Boost Metabolism & Weight Management: Resistance training keeps your metabolism active, aiding in weight management and energy levels.
-
Improve Joint Health & Mobility: Strengthening muscles around the joints alleviates pain and improves flexibility, making everyday movements easier and pain-free.
-
Support Heart Health & Reduce Disease Risk: Regular strength training lowers blood pressure, improves cholesterol levels, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
-
Enhance Mental Well-Being: Exercise releases endorphins, reducing stress and symptoms of anxiety and depression while sharpening cognitive function.
