Aging & Strength Training: What Actually Happens (And What You Can Do About It) You know that moment when you finish a workout and think, “That used to feel easier” ? Or when you’re still sore three days later from something that once had you ready to train again the next day? You’re not imagining it. Your body is changing. But here’s what most people get wrong: aging affects how you respond to training — not whether you can still make progress. Many people continue getting stronger well into their 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Modern research has exposed the flaw in that thinking. Multiple studies show that  short, high-intensity strength workouts lasting 20–30 minutes can build as much muscle and strength as longer sessions ....
