And keep you younger? The answer to the first question is
does not and the second is a "Yes". Weight lifting is

You younger. And, regardless of age, you're not
old to start.
1982, Dr.Walter Bortz, writes the Journal of the American Medical Association, said that a number of physics
Changes that we are the age, such as loss of muscle tension,
Damage to organs, and osteoporosis are not distinct
that by age or inactivity. "He believes that the pursuit
delayed a number of diseases related to aging by
"At least part of the overall development allocated aging
in reality, by obsolete and thus subject to the
Correction ".
With age we lose bone density and muscle mass. We steep
and our joints crunch. Instead, in our body, we have, "said
still on a very dangerous downward spiral. The
Synovial fluid dry, the tendons are brittle, the nerve
low growth. That hurts, to move, we have not.
Recently, Dr. Henry Lodge and Chris Cowley, a new
Book on this topic, "The early years follows: A Guide to Living Like
50, until 80 and beyond ". The principle of this book is that weight lifting can overthrow the loss of bone density and muscle mass, which starts to take place as one grows older. And she does not speak of lightweight, but large trucks -.
In July 1983, Terry Todd wrote in Sports Illustrated that "Anyone who has a lot of time sometimes in so-called" iron game "is, of course, to the weight of more than 40 trainers who were amazingly young body .... Apparently there there something about the act of the body, with regular heavy exercise, which makes it possible to resist, to events at the age ... the research in this area, that the men and women in the Middle Ages

Strength training also increases your flexibility and balance, making the likelihood and severity of the cases. A study in New Zealand for women aged 80 years and has a discount of 40% of cases with a simple strength and balance.
I do not agree that we need a heavy weight training to see substantial benefits.
The American College of Sports Medicine in force
Guidelines, we should do at least two days per week
all for the pursuit of resistance by 8-10 different exercises and 8-12 repetitions per day. Repetition is how many times you lift the weight or jogging.
So, with a weight that you really get up at least 8 representatives, even if only for 2-5 pounds. Rest period between each series of repetitions, and between each exercise. If you can up to 8 representatives, in the few countries, we must not give up. Tun, which you can do. You will be surprised how quickly you feel like you need a little more weight.
But the goal is not a job producer, but to restore your muscles and movements. You can gradually your way to the truck, if you want, but you get the best benefit by avoiding injury and paste it into the program - the lifting weight, every two or three days.
