Over 50's
Body World Balaclava & Camberwell also offers a specialised strength training program for over 50’s.
Why strength training?
Facts
- Without intervention, muscle strength declines with age
- Falls are the leading cause of hospitalisation vor people over 65yrs in Australia. Age-related muscle decline and the related consequences are a common cause of falls.
- Women from age of 35yrs lose up to 1% of their bone mass per year, this loss rapidly accelerating after menopause
- Approximately 40% of Victorian’s over 50yrs have Diabetes or Impaired Glucose Tolerance, which increases the risk of Diabetes.
Strength training will help you:
- Regain and maintain muscle strength no matter what your age
- Improve strength, balance, gait, flexibility and co-ordination, which in turn improves the ability to lift, walk, bend, climb stairs and enjoy life
- preserve bone density
- creat an effective management strategy for Type 2 Diabetes, in combination with a healthy diet.
