It’s Never Too Late to Start Lifting

If you ever need a reminder of why strength training matters - or why it’s never too late to begin - let me tell you about Nora Langdon.

Nora is 78 years young.
She’s a competitive Powerlifter.
And she’s living proof that strength has no expiration date.

Strength training isn’t just about aesthetics or hitting PRs (although, let’s be honest - those are fun). It’s about building a body that supports you through every season of life.

As we age, we’re often told that becoming weaker, slower, and more limited is inevitable.

But that’s not the full story.

You don’t have to become fragile.
You don’t have to stop challenging yourself.
You can become more capable.

What the Research Tells Us

Decades of research consistently show that strength training is one of the most powerful tools we have for healthy aging.

Even when started later in life, resistance training has been shown to:

• Increase muscle mass and strength

• Improve bone mineral density

• Enhance balance and power

• Reduce fall risk

• Improve functional independence

In other words: your muscles are remarkably adaptable -at almost any age.

Muscle loss with aging (sarcopenia) isn’t caused by age alone. It’s largely driven by physical inactivity. When people continue to lift, their bodies continue to respond.

That’s exactly what Nora represents.

Strength Training Is a Skill - Not a Deadline

Nora didn’t become strong because she was “lucky” or genetically gifted. She became strong because she trained consistently, respected recovery, and progressed intelligently.

And that’s the real takeaway.

Strength training doesn’t have an age limit.
It has an entry point.

Even later in life, lifting can lead to meaningful improvements, including:

💪 Increased strength and lean muscle mass
🦴 Improved bone density
⚡ Greater muscle power
🚶 Better balance and confidence in daily movement

So if you’ve ever thought:

• “It’s too late for me.”

• “I should have started years ago.”

• “I’m not built for lifting.”

Let Nora be your reminder.

It’s never too late to start lifting.
And it’s absolutely worth it to keep going.
