How many of us focus on getting stronger just for performance? Let's not forget it HELPS with our daily lives like swooping up our adorable grand kid for a hug...or simply getting down and up from a toilet. Start where you're at then keep going!

Want to build strength but not sure where to start?

Many Senior Games athletes know that strength and power are key to sports performance and longevity. But with so much information out there, it can be hard to know what actually works.

Our partners at the American College of Sports Medicine break it down with "5 Things to Know about Creating an Effective Resistance Training Plan". Their expert advice is simple and encouraging. It reminds us that: doing something can be our biggest win, we don't need a gym or advanced moves to get results and creating a plan that you'll stick to AND enjoy is the real key!
