"You're never too old to gain strength. The Noll Laboratory for Human Performance compared young men with men between ages 45 and 60 and found that percentage of body fat, along with aerobic capacity, was not related to age but rather to the amount of time spent training their body. The Human Nutrition Center on Aging found muscle growth in people ranging from 60 to 96 years old was statistically equivalent to younger people doing the same amount of training with their bodies." ~ Shawn Phillips from Strength for Life
Do you think you're too old to get strong physically?!? Might want to re-think that.
Do you have parents you think are too old to be into this? Might want to re-think that as well.
As Shawn Phillips says in his brilliant book, Strength for Life, "As this research indicates, the symptoms of aging are less dependent on age and more related to lifestyle. Thus, a lifestyle that includes regularly engaging one's body with strength training can make you strong now and keep you going strong for life."
More mojo from Shawn: "The evidence is strong and science validates what millions of Transformation success stories have revealed: "typical signs of aging" are more the result of how you live than how long you've lived."
We're never too old to gain incredible strength!!!! (In every aspect of our lives: physically, emotionally, spiritually, ...)
Let's do it, shall we? :)
