Let’s break down why this matters and how strength training can change your life in just 30 minutes a session.
Why Strength Training Matters — Especially After 40
As we age, muscle mass starts to decline — unless we actively do something about it. For adults over 40, this loss doesn’t just mean looking softer. It means:
-
Slower metabolism
-
Higher risk of injury
-
Lower energy
-
More aches and pains
-
Reduced independence as we age
The good news? Strength training is the antidote.
The arms and shoulders workout shown on News12 is a great example of how just a few targeted movements done correctly can build lean muscle, improve joint function, and boost energy. At AB Fitness, we use these same principles with every client, whether they’re just starting out or have years of experience.
What Was in the “Fitness in 4” Segment?
Anthony showed Antoinette a few smart, joint-friendly exercises that anyone can do. The focus was on controlled movements with light to moderate weight — not swinging dumbbells or doing crazy circus workouts.
Here’s what made the segment powerful:
-
✅ Every movement had a purpose
-
✅ The exercises were scaled for safety
-
✅ They were done in just a few minutes
-
✅ They can be replicated at home or in the gym
That’s what AB Fitness Personal Training is all about: effective, efficient workouts that don’t waste time and actually get results.
Why Busy Adults Are Turning to Strength Training (And Ditching Cardio)
Strength training isn’t just for bodybuilders.
If you’re someone who wants to:
-

Look and feel younger
Then strength training is your best investment.
At AB Fitness, we teach strength training the right way focusing on proper technique, smart programming, and working around injuries and limitations. Our programs are designed specifically for adults over 40 who need something that fits into their busy life.
