After age 60, adults lose 3–5% muscle mass per decade, increasing the risk of falls, fractures, and reduced independence (Source: Journal of Aging Research). The good news — guided strength training can help slow this decline.
At Garud Ortho Clinic, Kalyan, Dr. Amit Garud highlights the importance of supervised muscle training to support strength, balance, and overall mobility in seniors.
Benefits of muscle training for seniors:
• Better balance and fall prevention
• Improved bone density and reduced fracture risk
• Enhanced joint support for arthritic conditions
• Greater independence in daily activities
• Support for chronic condition management
• Improved mood and cognitive function
• Healthier metabolism and energy levels
Safe, structured approach:
Dr. Amit Garud designs age‑appropriate, low‑impact resistance programs tailored to each individual’s health status, past injuries, and fitness level — ensuring safety while building strength.
Muscle weakness accelerates ageing and affects quality of life. Supervised training helps seniors stay active, confident, and independent for longer.
