Strength Training Benefits for Active Over-40s 🏋️‍♀️

As we age, maintaining strength becomes increasingly important for overall health and independence. Growing Younger Squads offers a scientifically-backed approach to resistance training that helps kiwis aged 40+ preserve muscle mass, improve bone density, and enhance functional capacity.

Dynamic resistance training provides multiple benefits specifically valuable to this age group:

• Muscle preservation: From age 30 onwards, we naturally lose 3-5% of muscle mass per decade. Regular strength training significantly slows this process.
• Metabolic boost: Increased muscle mass enhances your resting metabolic rate, making weight management easier.
• Functional independence: Our focus on movements that mimic daily activities ensures your gym strength translates to real-world capability.
• Injury prevention: Stronger muscles provide better joint support and improved balance, reducing fall risk.
• Enhanced mood: Resistance training releases endorphins that combat stress and support mental wellbeing.

Our Level 3 Squads programme is ideal for active individuals who already maintain good fitness levels but want structured, effective training specifically designed for their age group. The sessions create a supportive community of like-minded people with similar fitness goals and life experiences.

Join us at Growing Younger in Howick to experience strength training that's specifically tailored to help you maintain vitality and physical capability as you age. Our expert coaches understand the unique requirements of training in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond.
