Hey! That was my comment, thanks for sharing it!!!🎉🎉🎉Excellent information!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I'm on my way to workout with my daughter!❤

I disagree with the guy saying lift heavy for seniors anyway. Three years ago I had stage 4 lymphoma. The nurses constantly came in my room because every time I got out of the bed the alarm would go off. They’d rush in asking me, what are you doing on the floor? I was doing push ups! They want you to stay in the bed, which I refused. After a while they just left me alone. My leg muscles had completely atrophied. So, I’d hold on to the IV pole and do squats and walk around the entire floor past the nurses station. Once I got out of the hospital I hit the gym. All they said was, I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep doing it! But, light weights, more reps and a will to live is what worked for me! 💯

Having muscle as you age is very important.

I lift weights to be strong and to put on muscle. No steriods ever but good nutrition and protein, protein, protein. My weight has gone up since I started lifting.  Thats okay. I decided i want "presence" in this world, no more skinny girl for me.

What do you guys think? Muscle is so important and I wish it was valued as much as we value weight.

Excellent video. One of the smartest decisions I made as a young 25 YO woman was to start lifting weights. I never fell off the wagon. 32 years later, I’m still getting under the bar, maintaining muscle, and even building bone. As the famous trainer/coach Mark Rippetoe says STRONG PEOPLE ARE HARDER TO KILL.

Brilliant. I'm 70, carnivore last 3 years. Put a lot of muscle on. My knees and hips were giving way. I now do a weights and stretching workout most days. Much ❤ from the UK.

I’m a 66 year old female. Been lifting weights for over 45 years.  I training other women, and stress the Importance of weight lifting.  Thanks for the info on cancer.  I’ll definitely pass in this video.  So important

I’ve been saying for years now. I’m trying to be able to wipe my own ass as an old man is a driving force of motivation for me to stay fit, strong and agile

2:16 I know two guys at my gym who have unfortunately had cancer, both dudes around 60, and they’re both doing a lot better now.

That said, both of them told me that their doctors told them the same thing:

If they weren’t in such good shape from lifting weights, their prognosis would have been a lot different, and not in a good way.

Let’s keep those gains bros, and let’s stay in good health and kick the s*** out of cancer if we god forbid get it. 💪🏾

By the way, props to you as a young dude for being so aware of why it’s so important to be fit and healthy and pushing this message. 🫡

Fitness , air , sunlight , being in nature all work fir me at 64 . Nice content , pleased to have found you ❤

I survived 12 rounds of chemotherapy by staying in the gym 🙏🏾

Great info!  I'm at my best right now than I've ever been: I workout
every day, hit the gym, eat healthy, don't smoke or drink....my body
is feeling great & a few people have commented.  How old am I:
  in my 70's !!

This video was basically a friendly yet wonderful reminder that the importance of staying as active as possible on a day to day, week to week basis is real and urgent for a better quality of life

I'm experiencing this firsthand with my own parents. It scared me into becoming healthy. I started balancing my meals; running; and now lifting. I'm fitter in my 40s than I was in my 20s; make it make sense 😅

My dad went on Keytruda cancer therapy and proton cancer therapy for a year WHILE on Ozempic for type 2 diabetes all on the advice of his doctor whom he obeys totally.  One year later, his cancer is gone but- he had kidney failure, adrenal failure lost all his muscle, can no longer walk, stand up  nor move more than barely pick up a plastic spoon to feed himself.  It is heartbreaking.  He his mentally all there but cannot do anything.  And he was a robust and active 86 year old tending a garden, building things à year earlier.

Since then I’ve gone down the Stacy Sims/Vonda Wright rabbit hole of lifting heavy 3 x a week and forcing a discipline of regular AND sufficient protein.  I got scared straight.

I've been looking for a video like this, I feel like people give lip service to this concept but never talk about it in depth, although the older I get the more I think it should be a number 1 priority in lifelong health & wellness.

It’s great you are highlighting this as well. So important!!! I started heavy weights at 65 after watching the honest channel where the presenters parents in their 80’s started lifting heavy. So true. Don’t let your muscles waste away. And if I can lift heavy anyone can 😂

great video man this helped boosted my ED recovery
