Why do you need to strength train?
Why would you want to waste your time?
Buy higher chairs, that way you don't worry about those thigh/butt muscles getting you out of an average-height chair.
Be sure you never fall, that way you won't worry about the lost upper body strength that is needed to push yourself off the floor.
Cut your hair so you won't worry about holding up a blow dryer with your shoulder and tricep muscles.
You probably don't want to hold little babies and puppies, so don't fret about those biceps that won't pick up anything.
Most of us never worry about having a heart attack or stroke, so it won't matter that weight training helps keep the heart healthy.
I am absolutely sure you do not mind eating less each day and each week and each month until you cannot eat hardly anything at all without gaining weight.
Strength training is an essential part of everyone's workout.
As we age, we lose muscle and bone, unless we do something to prevent this from occurring.
That precious lean body mass is what gives us the strength to perform our activities of daily living mentioned above.
It takes strong muscles and strong bones to keep our health complete.
It is what uses fuel, in terms of food, to keep us going.
Adipose tissue, or fat, does not require very many calories to stay on our bodies -- yes, if we are heavier, it does takes more calories to move, but who needs to burn those kind of calories?
If you think you don't have time to add strength training to your routine, plan now for a challenging adventure in aging.
