How Strength Training Protects Your Joints
One of the most common myths we hear at MYO from new clients over 45 is that strength training is “too hard on the joints.” This belief is understandable—but it’s outdated. In reality, properly executed strength training is one of the most effective ways to protect and preserve joint function as we age.
