Bodybuilding techniques for elderly people

 

Weight and strength training for eldely people in the USA

Elderly weight training in the USA

Starting out again in later life

The key here is toning not muscle building. You must start gradually otherwise you'll tear a muscle and end up in pain. I recommend that you purchase a set of hand dumbells with 3Kg max for women and 5 Kg max for men.

Start your weight training for elderly people with some very simple repetition work - say 10 in a set of exercises then onto the next exercise. You should stick to the same number of exercises for 1 full week before moving to a higher number in the second week. If you get very tired and ache a lot, then reduce back a bit before building up again slowly.

Weight training for elderly people will take much longer than young people as the muscles may have weakened considerably. You should set your target for muscle toning and not for building up the size of your muscles.

For the very fit elderly person - lucky you !!!
