If you’re over 55, you might think that strength training is only for younger people. However, strengthening your triceps is an excellent way to stay fit and autonomous. Here are three good reasons to start exercising—or step up your routine!
Preserve your functional strength
Your triceps play a key role in everyday movements like carrying groceries, lifting a suitcase, and getting up from a chair. Maintaining their strength will help you remain autonomous.
Protect your articulations
Having well-trained muscles around the shoulders and elbows helps stabilize the joints and reduces the risk of injuries. This is especially true for triceps, which tend to be neglected even though they are equally important.
Improve your posture and appearance
Toned arms improve your posture, and they also boost self-confidence. Who says you can’t have beautiful arms when you’re over 55?
