Science Ain't So Bad

NEVER TOO OLD

STRENGTH TRAINING FOR OLD PEOPLE

IF you’re ninety, lift weights.

It’s good for you.

Dr. Mikel Isquierdo did a study in the journal Age.  It showed that people over ninety who to took part in a weight training program did great. The nanogenarians worked on strength training, flexibility, and balance. At the end, they  walked faster, popped out of their chairs like 75 year old kids and  had less falls.

And they and looked sexier.

Well, obviously, they did better. They were working out, right? What do you expect?

Here’s the thing. We don’t need some huge study to prove the obvious. Exercise is good. Of course it’s good.What we need to know is how they got Mister and Ms Getlostsonny to sign up. If this idea spreads, there’s going to be a lot of empty nursing homes.
