A medical condition doesn't have to define you.

StrongerLife can show you what's possible...regardless of that diagnosis.

We often get asked what kind of exercises we recommend and to be honest, that is kind of a loaded question. The best answer is to find something that you will stick to.
-
That being said we are a little biased and love CrossFit. The principles, movements and community are absolutely amazing. Many of the movements translate to activities that you do almost daily(look back at our posts for a great video that demonstrates these). One thing we find though is that some of the movements can be very intimidating.
-
For example let’s look at the burpee. Many people have not willingly been on the floor in years and are afraid to do so. Well, we want you to be able to do everything for yourself including getting safely down to the ground to pick up something and more important getting back up.
-
The best part about CrossFit is there are several modifications to start to work on these movements. Check out this video clip from our friends at StrongerLife. They have a class specifically designed for the over 55 population. You can see that not only do they have a great turnout but there are modifications for each individual based on their abilities.

Why do we promote strength training for all age groups? Mainly because it will help make life easier.

Are you watching the CrossFit games? Always fun to see all of the age divisions which now include a 65&over group. Pretty awesome to watch people of all ages perform some tough workouts.

Strength training is an essential “vitamin” for life. This means lifting is something we should be doing no matter our age. Unfortunately many are told lifting past a certain age is dangerous - this couldn’t be further from the truth. While we all start at different places in our strength journey & bring different injury histories into the mix - lifting is for everyone.
Think about this also: lifting is preparing you for LIFE. While many of us love the competition side of lifting, we must also realize that the strength we gain in the gym allows us to do things during our day to day lives with greater ease. Getting up & out of a chair, waking up stairs, picking up a box in your garage ALL become easier with greater strength.
There have been numerous studies and articles written on how muscle loss and weakness is positively correlated with death and a shorter life span. Lifting with movements like the squat, deadlift, press etc, when performed correctly and with good programming, will improve core strength, increase muscle mass/power/strength, increase your resiliency to injuries and improve your life expectancy.
Tell me about your strength journey in the comments below. Will you be lifting when you’re 70,80,90+??
