[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 42. I have for years done strength training at home (30 minute videos) in addition to cardio and am generally happy with the results, and recently added some 10 pound weights to my routine instead of just 5s and feel like I'm getting a good strength training workout. I also love barre but am never clear if that should count as strength training or exercise. I keep hearing about how everyone is doing workouts with heavy weights though - are they essential, and what for? I will admit that weight loss is a goal for me, but historically that has been more about food for me. As I get older, trying to figure out what the right mix is and if I'm really missing out by not having a home barbell set. [/quote] depends on what your goals are. If all you care about is weight and not muscle then, correct, diet is all that matter. If you want to be strong and maintain muscle as you age then you should be lifting relatively heavy weights[/quote]
