[quote=Anonymous]It’s been proven that lifting weights, any weights, but particularly heavier ones increase longevity and mobility as you age. My mother and MIL are both in their early eighties. MIL has exercised via walking and jazzercise for most of her life but never lifted a weight over 5lbs. She still walks daily but struggles to carry a laundry basket or groceries up the stairs. My mother is even worse since she stopped working out at all years ago and never lifted weights. They’re both small women who cannot lift anything over a few pounds. My mother has osteoporosis and has shattered bones. I don’t want to go out that way so I’m lifting heavy things as long as I can. [/quote]
