Welcome to Growing Stronger: Strength Training for Older Adults! If
you're interested in feeling stronger, healthier, and more vital, this
program is for you. This strength-training program was developed by experts
at Tufts University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Growing Stronger is an exercise program based upon sound scientific
research involving strengthening exercises—exercises that have been shown
to increase the strength of your muscles, maintain the integrity of your
bones, and improve your balance, coordination, and mobility. In addition,
strength training can help reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic
diseases, including arthritis.
If
you're not physically active now, Growing Stronger will help you make
daily activity a regular part of your life by building the essential
strength that makes all movement easier and more enjoyable. Download a print-friendly version of the Growing Stronger course.PDF (PDF-500K) Thanks to CDC for this useful article. http://www.cdc.gov
