Train for Healthy Aging: Beat Sarcopenia, Keep Your Bones Strong

Train for Healthy Aging: Beat Sarcopenia, Keep Your Bones Strong

What to prioritize

Full‑body strength with focus on legs and back; daily walks and light cardio; balance drills; adequate calcium/vitamin D if deficient.

Evidence snapshot

- Resistance training improves function and slows sarcopenia.
- Vitamin D benefits are clearest for bone when deficient; muscle effects are mixed unless correcting deficiency.
- Omega‑3s may slightly aid recovery; results are mixed.

Weekly template
