View submission: How to be independent when I'm old?
I take strength training very seriously and I've been lifting weights 4x week for the last 7 years and plan to keep doing it as long as I can. I love doing it but a bigger reason is to strengthen my bones so a fall doesn't take me out when I'm older. Women are at a much greater risk of falls than men and many women experience rapid declines in their health after a fall. No, drinking milk doesn't really do much for your bones. They need to have a load put on them to keep them strong. It's crazy to me that more doctors aren't pushing weights on women. It's life or death.
There's nothing here!
