Exercise Rejuvinates Tissue; Stops Aging

Research conducted on seniors in Canada shows that weight training can actually reverse aging in the muscle tissue of healthy senior citizens. The study, co-led by Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky of McMaster University Medical Centre in Hamilton, Ont., took 25 healthy seniors over age 65 and put them on a weight lifting program of two hours a week for six months.

They then compared their tissue samples to a similar analysis taken from younger healthy men and women in their 20s who did the same exercises: Before exercise training, the older adults were 59 per cent weaker than the younger adults.

After the training the strength of the older adults improved by about 50 per cent, so that they were only 38 per cent weaker than the young adults. “After training, they were halfway back to the strength of a young person,” reports Tarnopolsky.

No need to buy expensive weight training equipment. A few small dumb bells and you’re on your way.

If you have not lifted any weights in a long time then follow these simple instructions.

• Start Slow With a Few Repetitions
• Use Light Weights For The Upper Body (5-10 Pounds to Start With)
• Rather Than Squats Get Some Ankle Weights, Sit and Lift
• Just 10 minutes About Two or Three Times A Week

This is not a one shot deal. Make a commitment of 20-30 minutes and you will see a difference in a short time. Stay committed and you will be able to do things you have not done in a while. Some of the benefits you will see will be an ease in performing day-to-day tasks, preventing broken and soft bones, improved walking strength, better sleep, sense of overall well being.
