This resource can be used to
promote strength training and its benefits to older people. The
aim is to provide information and inspire people to go out and start
strength training and enjoy the benefits.
Increased strength can help prevent falls and
also helps in the prevention and management of health conditions
such as osteoporosis and diabetes.
In
the DVD/video a number of people of various ages talk about the
benefits to them of doing strength training including increasing
friendships and social networks. With improved physical, social
and mental health comes a renewed quality of life. The clear message
is “Strength training – you’re never too old to
start”.
A Written and produced
by Fran Haarsma Productions in partnerhip
with Council On The Ageing (COTA) and the Living Longer Living Stronger
Program.
