Strong Women™
Strong Women™ is strength training for primarily older women (and men) which was developed by Dr. Miriam Nelson at Tufts University. The Strong Women™ Program is based on years of research on how strength training and proper nutrition improve the health of women of all ages. "Strength is a critical factor in living healthier, more active lives. Our research shows that a program of strength training not only improves bone density but reduces falls, imrpoves arthritis symptioms, and increases flexibility and strength," states Dr. Nelson. The program is appropriate for both sedentary and very active women.
