Strength training is one of the most important things you can do for longevity. By lifting weights, you can preserve strength and maintain muscle mass as you age. Lifting weights for men over 50 might be even MORE important than lifting weights while you are young. This is based on REAL strength training research.
Getting older is a process of losing muscle mass, mobility, and energy. One of the best ways to combat these side effects of aging including sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) is by doing strength training. Other benefits of strength training include boosting your metabolism and activating genes that help promote longevity.
In this video, I'll go over all of the benefits of lifting weights for men and women over 40 and guide you through the research behind it. It's never too late to start strength training and lifting weights, no matter how old you are. Get started by trying any of our workouts!

I am a lifetime member and really like the FF program. I would like to see a video on the comparisons of different popular diets. You could compare FF, keto and paleo for example.
Dr. Balduzzi, is your family originally from the Bergamo’s valleys? Just curious.
Hi Doc
Can you help with a running specific programme that could get a 55yr old, 1,78m , 120kg guy back to running a 10km road race in under 60 mins....💪👍
Very informative. I'm in my mid sixties. I was getting in to some weight lifting when Covid hit. I'm undecided about going back to the gym. What are the positive impacts of running and pushups? I do about a 100 or more pushups a day, and run (fingers crossed) 5 to 6 days a week. I do have some weights here in the house. Establishing an effective home routine with them is the real problem.
Fit Father Project - Fitness For Busy Fathers Doc I would like to know how aging people can attain more agility and flexibility and how to overcome mobility restrictions, joint pain and physical conditions which limit training and which worsen with training. For example when young I could sprint fast, swing on monkey bars easily, and get up off the floor no problem. Now those simple things are near impossible even though I workout with weights and am fairly fit from jogging
82 this year, train 3 times a week. Just trying to hang on to what I've got.
GOOD! Keep going Martin! 82 years young.
Awesome!
👍👍
Good on you brother.
Incredibly inspiring Sir never stop!
I’m 71 and have lifted weights for 55 years. I fully expect to die in the gym.
may your see a lycra clad angel with your last breath BRO :)
Awesome my friend 💪
Me to lifting weihts for 30 years. We are addicts to sweat and tears. I'm 63 by the way.
I’ve lifted since I was 15 also. I’m 65. Feel the same way my friend. I’m not impressed with myself but people think I’m 50. I had a heart arrack at 51. The “widow maker”. 1 stint later my cardiologist says I’m her best patient. Heart attack did very very little damage and my overall fitness is in the upper 20%. 💪🏼🏋️🍻
@@outdoorsforever1027
im honestly happy fror you bud, a kindred spirit indeed (brah) but what contributed to you having a heart attack do you think?
I ask because im 51 this year and although i think im top 20% by age..... :(
I'm going to be 60 this June I will never stop lifting/ strength training. Since covid I've been training in my shed, portable heater and all. More motivated today than ever, train hard, stay positive.
Awesome Bruce, you're a legend my friend. Keep it up 💪
I don't want to die a weak old man. I want to die a strong old man .
💪
I like to your attitude !!
yeah.. exactly what I have in mind.. seriously.. I have started doing it for almost half a year now.. and i don't intend on stopping..
What would be a difference?
Me 49 and just started training again. I agree with you
I'm 50 and I lift everyday and it keeps me mentally sane also.
💪
The sanity I understand. I work from home and working out is what's keeping me mentally upright. 👌
Same here😎
🤣🤣🤣 I CAN'T TELL FROM YOUR MOVIES. "SAY HELLO TO YOUR LITTLE FRIEND." 💪😁 ( JUST KID'N ) STAY STRONG!
@ad izzle I'm not sure I'll let you know in a year.
It's never to late I'm 55 now, stronger than I have been in my younger years.
Awesome my friend 💪
That gives me hope.. I'm 46.
Stay at it
🤜🤛
My dear ones, I completely agree with you. I am 63 and train every other day for 1 hour. I am in great shape without fat and with visible abs. I feel strong and I play sports regularly (tennis). So my full support to everyone who has a dilemma whether to listen to this advice. Yes, exercise regularly and vigorously. Greeting
Awesome my friend! Ty 👍
Big props, to my older brothers. We are a different breed... I'm doing 10-15 sets on my bench , 5 sets @ 275 & 5-7 more @ 245 5 to 10 reps, also incorporate weighted leg lifts & golf( walking). 3-7 times per week. Body is getting there! One month from 62 BTW. Stay strong ! Age is just a number!
@ Vladimir belicevic I am 63 I used to be fit.,I need to get back into it. Appreciate your help if anyone has a safe routine
Brett....that's awesome....but those kind of numbers are extraordinary for 62...they are very far from typical..You were blessed with exceptional joint genetics...I train hard but carefully with dumbbells , bands, and some cables ...no long bars.....
I had shoulder surgeries ....my left in feb 2011 and my right in Nov. 2016.....Orthopedic doctors ....who never train...lecture you incessantly against weight training...
They know alot about joints but nothing about working out, which is a science in it's own right...
Please sir can I ask you what makes people stop going to the gym. I see 40 yr olds and then somehow the older ladies and gents disaapear especially from the weights area . What happens to energy ? Do you feel the same now like you did in your 20s and 30s
63, white hair , lift 4 days , walk 3 days.
Been lifting 20 years, before that I played soccer every weekend from age 8 till I was 43.
Recently retired 8 months ago. Life is great.
Awesome my friend! That makes me happy to hear! Keep it up 💪
You should think about buying an ebike. Add it in to what your already doing. It has made all the difference for me and I absolutely love riding the thing!
@@brianthompson1045 , buy a mountain bike and do the peddling your self. I am 60 and have been doing it for 30 years now. Even race in my younger days, miles of smiles!
@@gixxer750axld my point about ebikes could have been explained more clearly. Regular mountain biking, particularly in the woods, is a HIIT, high intensity interval style training. An electric mountain bike turns your rides into more of a low intensity, steady state style of training. It’s in my opinion excellent for weight loss while maintaining muscle retention. You can ride very aggressive and still keep your heart rate in your desired zone. I have had tremendous results keeping my muscle while loosing the 60lbs this year. As a life time mountain biker/lifter I would loose much more muscle when aggressively riding while dieting before I purchased an ebike. I have a class 1 pedal assist, no throttle. Turbo levo comp. full suspension emtb.
@@brianthompson1045 Non ebike riders just don't understand. You get as much workout as you want.
I am 53 and picked up my first weight at 9, and never stopped. It has kept me fit, healthy, and strong all these years. Totally agree with you Dr. B!
Wonderful my friend 💪 Thank you.
Fantastic, I’m 76. And are just-starting to train. I was fed up of feeling crap, I’ve been active all my life and loved exercising, I don’t want to disappear in front in my children I need to look good and keep my mind. Thanks you’ve given me the will to get on and do it
Hey Albert, thanks for writing in and we love to hear that kind of fire brother. Keep those children in mind when the going gets tough and they'll see you through. 👊
-The FFP Team
49 and I have lifted my entire adult life and I will never stop! Everything he says is true.
Awesome my friend! Keep it up! Ty 💪
52 feel like 25 . still training
I just turned 50, and I run and it does help with anxiety. I also do alot of pushups, etc., but I have been feeling like I'm missing something. Maybe I should get back into weights, but my goal won't be what it was at 17-25 - to be big. I have noticed that people in my age group that do some regular resistance training are a lot healthier. Thanks for posting-I appreciate hearing it from someone in my age group.
@@tenbroeck1958 am 52 and a run and do push up and lift a heavy tire at the park. Am going start lifting 35lb dumbbell. Eat healthy and get good rest and exercise. Don't stop moving .
@@tenbroeck1958 I suffered with anxiety all my life , and one of the biggest causes was too much cardio, get on the weights 3 or 4 times a week and see if that improves
I started lifting at 14. Three years ago at 62 my colon ruptured. Spent 8 hours in the ER before they figured out the problem. The delay caused other problems. There is a 40% mortality rate for people over 50 who have this happen. Even with the bad medical care I survived. After 5 weeks I had dropped from a strong/fit 165 lbs to 135. 10 weeks after the rupture and after gaining back 10 pounds, I resumed working out. It took me 6 months to get my strength back and a year to get the weight back. I am actually a little stronger now than I was before. Exercise/lifting will make your life better
That is one heck of a story and recovery TD. Congratulations and well done healing yourself. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger :)
Almost the same thing happened to me at 59.
@@stevefitz7934 Colon ruptured?😳.Wow!I sure hope THAT don't happen to ME!I've been lifting heavy for over 30yrs,and the only issue it caused(I believe)is a Naval Hernia.I guess I shoulda wore a weightlifting belt!I still lift heavy,its just a nuisance having a small bulge near my naval.I Can't wear solid colored shirts etc..!
As a boy, I was chubby, picked on. At 13, I started lifting to play football. Been working out since. Now, at 55 years old, I’m at the gym 4-5 days a week and out work most all the younguns - who mostly take up space texting on the equipment.
Awesome my friend 💪 keep it up
thx that was funny
I'm 76 and I've started weight training again for the last year & I love doing it. Showed my son-in-law my pipes recently & he was impressed. You are right, it is one of the most important thing an older person can do.
Old man muscle baby! Keep pumping those pipes. Very proud of you, my friend! 🙏
@@Fitfatherproject I'm also 76 and have just started weight training. How long did it take before noticing favorable results?
Hi Robert be consistent and in 3 months a training routine combined with good nutritions you will see great changes 💪
@@robertbushee About 4 months maybe, but don't worry about that. Just do a good workout at least twice a week & you will see results. The final frontier for me will be abdominal fat & that will be a while yet. Eat well & use whey protein after or before you work out. I like to mix it in plain yogurt.
👍
I took a 30 year brake from the gym. I'm 55 now and started back 10 weeks ago. I feel so much better. Had know idea it would make me feel this good. If you aint lifting you should start.
I’m 53 and have been working out since I was 15. I have no aches or pains and feel like I am in my 30s. 100% convinced, including strength, training and zone to cardio training is the elixir for high-quality living into your later years. Good luck on your fitness journey 💪🏼
I've been following FFP for 5 months, and have lost 27 pounds and feel incredible!!! Thanks to Dr. A and his team!
We're damn proud of you Chris. Keep pushing my brother! 💪
What does FFP means?.
@@clivevaz6778 it means fasting , freezing your fat , & push ups

I'm 52, very active, especially in my younger days. I think this presentation was informative, helpful and accurate. Thanks so much for this objective over view on wellness! The science speaks for itself and so do the case studies!
You're very welcome Brother 👍🏼
Want to thank you for this video ! Am 70, and have been working out 5 days a week for about 3 hours dailly under online instruction from a professional trainer. The physcical changes are remarkable and plan to be on stage at the Natural Norther Ohio Oct 2 as the oldest competitor in Master Mens body biulding . Have straightened my back, and gotten my head back squarely over my shoulders ,large lats, arms legs , and small waist. Having worked out I usually get sufficient release of endorphans to make it a better day ! I eat 5 well baldnced meals a day and plenty of fluid. I am a semi retired Board Certified Orthodontist .
3 hours is too much, or your resting too much matey even at 70!!
Awesome my friend! Let’s get after it!! If you want more specific help, check out our Fit Father Workout Programs. store.fitfatherproject.com
@@tonybuk70 you are right three hours is way to long the body can’t sustain the energy for that long, one hour of intense training is ample
First read I'm thinking 3 hrs is excessive, then realized your training to compete, I've been a spotter for some guy's at a gym training for competition and your dedication is amazing at your age, I'm right behind you on age at 66 & a firm believer in working out, the best of luck Mr Hayes hope you bring 1st place home with you 💪
how did it get your head over your shoulders
I'm over 50. I lifted weights years ago and was in good shape, but let it go due to lack of time. That was a big mistake. I gained 50 lbs. of fat, lost muscle strength and tone, got out of shape and felt terrible. Now I'm back to moderate weight training, light jogging, and healthy eating healthier. It takes some effort, but it's worth it to feel and look better and be healthier. I think the key is just to keep it up at a moderate pace, steadily.
Absolutely 👍
Very encouraging words sir. Thank you.
I'm 58, I added strength training to my workout and the results have been great. I run ultra marathons and this portion of my training has helped me decrease my run time!
I'm now training for the Tarawera Ultra marathon in New Zealand, 100 miles.
Thanks for the message, I'm new to the channel. I'll keep watching for new content.
Awesome my friend! Really happy to have you with us. Explore our channel. We have a ton of awesome stuff here. Our website is also a fantastic resource. www.fitfatherproject.com/blog
I'm 64, been in and out of the gym all my life. Your presentation fuels my momentum, thank you, I just became a subscriber and follower.
Eddie! We're grateful to have you as a subscriber. Check out some of our workout videos on the channel on how to lift SMART in your 60s. You got this :-)
I’m 58 and I’ve been weight training since I was 14, and I have no intention to ever stop. You stop moving, you rust. Thanks for the great information and keep up the great work! Many thanks and big respect from an L.A. singer living Germany.👍🏽💪🏽
You're very welcome brother! Keep going Andre! 58 years young.
I've been lifting weights since I was in my early twenties. I'm about to turn 58 and feel that I'm in the best shape of my life. Nowadays, I'm still in the gym six times a week.
GOOD! Keep going Colin! 58 years young.
Love these well reasoned arguments for me to remember my “why” to do this stuff.
TY! We'll do more of these in the future. And we can all use the good, occasional reminder eh?
I’m 49 and down 45 lbs. you just inspired me to not listen to the excuses to miss my workout today. Grabbing the dumbbells soon.
Great details Dr. A. Glad I am on the BentTraining curve, ... exercised and did strength building up into my late 20s. Fell into complacency for my 30s and 40s. BUT I am back now thanks to FFP and at 51 I am overall in about the best shape of my life nutritionally, physically, and emotionally. The fundamentals I've learned over the last 2 years on HOW and WHY at 50 to live it in a sustainable way is priceless....
You sure are, Lee. By all standards... you climbed out of that 20 year complacency... and transformed yourself into a BEAST. You and Amy truly regenerated yourselves with sustainable mastery of the fundamentals... and consistent effort. I am beyond proud of you. Now, enjoy the next 50 years of health, my friend! :-)
Absolutely wonderful video.Thank you so much!
You're very welcome Brother 👍🏼
Hey Dr.A, this is such great video. Your enthusiasm is very motivating. I find doing supersets for 45 minutes 3 days a week to be efficient and highly effective. Supersets are great for both intense cardio and muscle building. Thanks for all of your wonderful advice!
Enthusiasm is the good virus!! I'm glad you enjoyed this and great job on that workout. Your superset plan 3x/week sounds spot on. We totally agree that supersets are a phenomenal way to get cardio + muscle gains in one. In addition to supersets, we like to do these pyramid style workouts.

Keep pumping those muscles brother. Very proud of you, my friend! 🙏
@@1450JackCade I’ve since changed up my routine. I started feeling fatigue and soreness. I now work out 5 days a week and rest on the weekends. I either hit up the sauna or hot tub and that seems to do wonders for me. I’m happy with my continued muscle growth 💪🏻

I really needed this video. I’m so happy I discovered this channel as I’m finally ready to get it together with my health and wellness. 🙏🏽

Excellent video Sir!- I'm 57 and have been training with great consistency lately (Here in France) * It's a challenge lately because I have Multiple Sclerosis and it effects my legs something fierce, but NO excuses! I'm hitting the gym with a trainer, have an excellent diet now, getting rid of inflammation, and will be walking again soon! Thank you so much for the inspiration. Side note, I'm more inspired these days, because I have a girlfriend who's 15 years younger- so I need to get strong! >> Thank you Dr. Anthony!

amazing reasearch based talk on how focus on strength training during the later year is more significant than the younger years , serious hard talk , great shareable material Dr A.
TY Malcolm. Glad you liked this one. I felt this was a very valuable topic for us to cover here on the channel.
What else would you like us to shoot vids on? Any specific topics?
I use to workout in the past but became distracted but watching this presentation has encouraged me to begin again. It's never too late.
Thank you for such informative knowledge for men/women who are over 50.
You're very welcome Kelvin 🙏
To call this video inspiring is an understatement. I'm going to be 52 soon and have started strength training.
Awesome my friend! That makes me very happy to hear 🙏
Will be 50 and good motivating video
Stick with it
At 58 and woefully out of shape, I thought that my time was over; that there was no use in trying anymore, the effort wasn't worth the modicum of benefits for someone of my age. Thank you for presenting the research, the professional insight, the encouragement, and for helping me to realized that there is little cause for doubt. I will have to look more closely at the programs you offer.
Great to hear Mark! Use the strength of your will + action. You can make big changes 💪
@@Fitfatherproject sounds to me you have already decided, I will offer this advice to you if you start strength training you do it for you or you wont stick to it.

I have been weight training since I was 32. I’m 55 now. People I work with could not believe my age. I still have a flat stomach and broad shoulders. My wife loves my body. Keep it up bro 😎
Start easy and workout to the point where your feel the burn but won't be too sore the next day then build up from them every day. Then make the work outs harder. Eat more protein and less sugar
I’m 53 this year and out of shape , your reply has given me hope ✊🏻👏
I’m 29, been lifting weights for about 4 years! I love it. Thanks for the video, I sent to my parents. They are both 60+! Thank you
Awesome my friend! You're very welcome 🙏
Awesome video and information. Thank you!
TY West! Appreciate you being here and watching. We're always looking to improve this channel. Any other topics you want covered?
All true !
I have been training in the gym for over 40 years. I still train about 11 hours weekly . . . mostly free weights and cardio.
Last Autumn my doctor said that my physiological age was that of a man in his mid 30's. Most folks think that I am in my 50's.
Both of my younger brothers look older than I am . . . My youngest brother is 60.
There is no secret ! Just be committed and consistent with good nutrition, strength and cardio routine, regular sleep cycles, and a low stress level.
Don't wait until the end to wish that you had done things differently !!
Thank you for sharing . . .
Yours in youth !

GOOD! Keep going Arden! One of the best things for your health💪
I think this is valuable. I am 46 & just started lifting weights again this past year (before the plan-demic).
GOOD. Keep building that momentum!
Agree plandemic
I'm 46 and started when I was 13 or 14
i started training again at 46, im 50 and i am GENUINLEY at the best shape of my life.. consistency is the key I promise
SCAMDEMIC TOO
Great vibes and very neat presentation! It feels like listening to a good friend. Love your video!

I'm 67 and been working out since my late 20s. My body is ripped and most people guess my age at 45-50.
I train sensibly for muscular definition not mass. I hope lots of people get to see this video and act upon the advice you have given. Bless you
Amen Colin 🙏
Been lifting since 23 and now l am 50 in a few weeks as a classic ectomorph that started at 63kg l have maintained 86 Kg and enjoy the strength training but rotate it with light, and medium with higher reps. The big three l still do which is essential Squat, Bench and Deadlift and they will remain for the rest of my life.
Awesome my friend 💪

I am 71 y.o. I have been using resistance bands for the past several months, 2-3 days per week. I started with BodyLastic bands, which are the cable and handle type. Several months ago I switched to Undersun bands which are the giant rubber band type resistance bands. My 44 y.o. daughter goes for a long walk almost daily. I am trying to convince her to at least try some form of strength training. I plan to show her your video. Thank you
I love it! Keep up the training Rich... and let’s get your daughter lifting. We have a Fit Mother CZcams channel too. It has lots of strength training videos for women 40+
Been strength training since high school. I’m 47 now and will never stop. Its just what I do. Good video. What we do in our 40’s determines what we do in our 60’s. Put your knee on the door and “Don’t let the old man in”.
100% on everything you said my friend 🙏
Hello from Tulsa Oklahoma. Ive had so many set backs in life. The video boosts my confidence. Thanks so much
I've trained since I was 14, maybe 15. Recently I've been doing a remodel on my house, haven't lifted, and I can tell I'm declining, so I'm getting back to lifting.
👍
I started lifting at 50 and wish and think I should’ve started earlier. Not that I was a couch potato because I routinely jogged and did cardio but that kind of workout ruined my lower back, I learned that you can combine both but lifting put you state of mind in another level. I also learned that for lifting, right position is king. A wrong posture can send you to the hospital. Start low and slow with the correct posture and do not confuse hypertrophy with exhaustion. The former is good; the latter is not.
The amazing thing about lifting weights is that ... over time... it gives you MORE ENERGY and MOTIVATION. The key is developing the positive momentum for a few months to build a lasting habit.
You are an inspiration to many of us I am 55 and I’m barely starting to work out thank you for sharing your videos and thoughts ,keep up the good work!!
TY David. Glad you liked this one. I felt this was a very valuable topic for us to cover here on the channel. What else would you like us to shoot vids on? Any specific topics?

I'm pretty sure Jack Lalanne started working out in his 20s or 30s. But yes, exercise at any age is vital for good health!

Lifted pretty regularly from my 20s to mid 50s but got lazy after that. I’m 62 now and recently retired. Subscribed to FFP and it’s been the motivation I needed to start to get back into shape. Been back at it for about 2 months and can really feel the difference. Still a ways to go but thanks for all the good content and for helping to jump start my drive to get back into the gym.
Awesome my friend! Keep it up brother 🙏

Thank you Michael. Glad you liked this one. I felt this was a very valuable topic for us to cover here on the channel. What else would you like us to shoot vids on? Any specific topics?
Sly Stallone is really into resistance bands as he gets older. He said you can get a great workout without all the injuries
Hi Joe, we have many resistance band workout tutorials in this channel 👍
@@Fitfatherproject awesome and thank you
You're very welcome Brother 👍🏼
JACK LALANNE DID NOT START TRAINING AT 50. HE STARTED IN HIS 20'S
Yes. He was the original, that I can think of-- the first to televise (in black-and-white) aerobic and anaerobic training techniques in the 1960s and 70s long before the internet was even thought of. Before fitness became mainstream.
Always great content, sharing with a handful of buddies I’m encouraging to start lifting! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Dennis! I’m very glad this was helpful for you 🙏🏼
A great motivating and educational video = many thanks.
72 - I use basically a band workout 2 days a week at home and weights 2 days at the gym. After lifting for almost 2 years I set up exercise bands in my basement and found it made a huge difference. I trained with basically bands only for 5 months and then started adding some weights again. My body felt better after band training and my lifts were actually heavier. Hope you are incorporating this in your routines? Btw, I'm talking working hard and making the bands cause maximum effort. My body has been beat up through the years from sports and other activities and the bands allow me to get a better result than I was getting with weights alone. I'm hoping this inspires some who can't really get into weight lifting.
I'm 50, so seeing someone 72 who recommends it is inspiring. I hope you're lifting for many years to come!
Awesome my friend! Keep it up 💪

I like to use bands for pull ups and dips.
Bands are a good suplament in between work outs. I started using them too. It helps to take out sorness from lifting a couple of days before that. I also have been experimenting with Hiit and plyometrics combos. Isometrics is a way to increase strength. I'm 72 and don't give up but listen to that old body and put the pedal to the metal when it wants to go. Make sure you give it time to heal in between work outs or you won't be able to get stronger. The heavier you go the longer it takes to heal.
I think it's also important that men who've been working out since their 20s need to train differently in their 40s 50s and older. Bob Paris wrote a great book about 20 years ago called "Prime," going over how you're more prone to injury, and while you shouldn't stop lifting, you need to be wiser about how your body won't recover as well if you're trying to lift with the same intensity you did at 25.
We 100% agree and great comment. The training style needs to change... compound exercises should be modified to be super joint-friendly. We're starting a Fit Father Podcast in a few months. I'll see if we can get Bob Paris on for an interview. He has been a huge inspiration in my life... what an incredible bodybuilder and student/teacher of fitness.
@@Fitfatherproject so 50s are abs and big arms out of the question without trt?

My doctor advised me to quit the gym, smoke more and gain a lot of weight. I am wondering if it was wise to name him as beneficiary on my life insurance policy.
