Two 30-minute sessions a week at home, and a test every week so you can see it working
After fifty the body loses muscle at 1–2 percent a year, and the loss is what turns a stumble into a fall. Strength training reverses it at any age — trials show people in their nineties adding muscle — and the amount needed is small. Twelve weeks, a chair, a wall, and from week five a pair of bands.
Foundation · Weeks 1–4
The six movements, balance as a skill, breathing and the core, walking like you mean it.
Build · Weeks 5–8
Adding resistance, protein and the plate, the heavy day, grip and feet.
Keep · Weeks 9–12
Mobility through the full range, power and speed, the 30-minute template for life, the retest.
How it is written
Every week: the idea, this week's sessions (exact exercises, sets and reps, warm-up and cool-down), and the test — sit-to-stand, single-leg balance, plank, 400 m walk, and more — written next to week 1.
Who this is for
Anyone over fifty who wants to carry the shopping, climb the stairs and get off the floor at eighty. General information, not medical advice; check with a doctor or physiotherapist first if you have a condition.
