Repeated research has shown that, through weight training, men and women in their 60s and beyond can grow muscles as big and strong as an average 40-year-old. This is possible despite the age-related changes that begin around middle age, when metabolism slows, muscle mass shrinks, and hormonal and neurological responses decline. “Yes, you can put on lean muscle mass as you age,” said personal trainer Jennifer Oestreich, supervisor of the Wellness Center at Mariners Hospital, which offers fitness memberships, group classes, personal training and other wellness activities to the Upper Keys community. But patience and perseverance are part of the equation, she added. “The timing is usually longer to regain and build strength because everything else is more sluggish. You have to work a little bit harder and a little bit longer.” The UAB Center for Exercise Medicine at the University of Alabama has carried out many studies showing that people in their 60s and 70s, who were supervised in a weight-training program, were able to build muscle and strength.

If you don’t have a trainer, or aren’t familiar with weight-resistance workouts, ask for some initial guidance at your gym. Always listen to your body. “If something hurts or doesn’t feel right, that’s your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. That whole notion of no pain, no gain is false.” “If something hurts or doesn’t feel right, that’s your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. That whole notion of no pain, no gain is false.” Stay hydrated. Drink water before and after exercising. This is especially important for seniors, said Ms. Oestreich, who has found her older clients tend to drink less water in an effort to avoid multiple trips to the bathroom.

Eat well. “You cannot out-exercise a poor diet. Eating protein before and after a work-out will lead to a better outcome for muscle growth and development.” While most people need about .8 grams of protein per kilo of body weight every day, those who have experienced a loss of muscle mass (called sarcopenia) may need as much as 1.2 grams of protein per kilo of body weight. Convert your body weight from pounds to kilos here. (For example, a person weighing 165 pounds, or 75 kilos, needs at least 60 grams of protein per day, or up to 90 grams.) “You cannot out-exercise a poor diet.
