Strength for Life in Adelaide at Pro Exercise SA
What is Strength for Life?
The Strength for Life program promotes health and well-being amongst people over 50. Participants in the Strength for life program engage in progressive strength training, using appropriate and increasingly heavy resistance under the supervision of fitness professionals. Research has shown that strength training can alleviate the effects of chronic conditions such as Arthritis, Type 2 Diabetes, Osteoporosis and Heart Disease.
Strength training has also been shown to:
- Improve balance and reduce risk of falling
- Enhance mental wellbeing
- Improve body composition (more muscle, less fat)
- Raise self-esteem and self-confidence
- Reduce lower back pain
- Enhance older people’s ability to undertake activities of daily living and maintain an independent lifestyle.
