Internist / Geriatrician here. If there is one intervention I recommend to all women over 40, it is resistance training, for all the reasons specified in your article. Preach!

Hi Jeffrey.. thank you for the comment. In my experience, many people don't embark on exercise programs because they have no idea why they are doing what they are doing. If there is no purpose, there will be no motivation. Further, having an understanding of the physiology behind the "why" helps to address the needs of different demographics. Young women are different from older women who are different from men and everyone's body responds differently to different things and the health needs of these groups are different. There is no "one-size-fits-all". Thank you for your perspective and for reading. :)
