Who it is for
It does not matter whether you have trained before. The programme starts where you are.
How it works
The programme changes as you get stronger and as your health changes.
Scientific evidence
The World Health Organization recommends that older adults do strength training at least two days a week and varied activity that emphasises balance and strength at least three days a week, to improve function and prevent falls.
A Cochrane review of randomised trials found that exercise programmes reduce the rate of falls in older people living in the community by around 23%. Programmes built on balance and functional exercises had the clearest effect.
Results vary between people. Exercise complements medical care and does not replace it.
The result
The aim is not to do more, but to keep doing what matters to you.
