Strength Training in Your 70s
Strength training in your 70’s and beyond may be the smartest thing you can do for your current and future health. Sarcopenia typically happens faster around age 75. But it may also speed up as early as 65 or as late as 80. It’s a factor in frailty and the likelihood of falls and fractures in older adults. The primary treatment for sarcopenia is exercise, specifically strength training.

Muscle Loss Over Time
Muscle tissue changes from decade to decade. Muscle mass decreases approximately 3–8% per decade after the age of 30 and this rate of decline is even higher after the age of 60. Muscle loss can also contribute to limited physical ability, low energy, and decreased metabolism.
