Myth: Strength training is for men only. Fact: It may be even more important for women to strengthen their bones and muscles than it is for men. After menopause, women lose a small percentage of bone mass every year.Strength training can help slow this loss. It helps delay the progression of a disease that causes bones to weaken (osteoporosis). Strength training can also slow muscle loss and improve balance. This can help reduce the risk of falls.
