Per Resistance Training for Older Adults Position statement by NSC, roughly only 8.7% of people over 75 (about 18% of general population) are participating in resistance training! The benefits are known and in the hands of the right clinicians and professionals we can make waves of change. But change is not easy, and may not seem as simple as it does on paper. But how can we increase this number and get more older adults lifting weights? Alyssa discusses some strategies!
