Use it or lose it
Muscle mass naturally diminishes with age. "If you don't do anything to  replace the lean muscle you lose, you'll increase the percentage of fat in your  body," says Edward Laskowski, M.D., a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., and co-director of the Mayo Clinic  Sports Medicine Center. "But strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass — at any age." 


 

Strength training helps you: 
·        
Develop strong bones.
By stressing your bones, strength training increases bone density and  reduces the risk of osteoporosis.      
Control your weight.
As you gain muscle, your body gains a bigger "engine" to burn calories more efficiently — which can result in weight loss. The more toned your muscles, the more energy they require and the easier it is to control your weight.
Reduce your risk of injury.
Building muscle helps protect your joints from injury. It also contributes  to better balance, which can help you maintain independence as you age.·        
Boost your stamina.
As you get stronger, you won't fatigue as easily.·        
Manage chronic conditions.
Strength training can reduce the symptoms and severity of many chronic conditions including arthritis, back pain, diabetes, depression, obesity and osteoporosis        
Sharpen your focus.
Some research suggests that regular strength training helps improve memory, concentration and attention to detail in older adults.
