A 2022 study review from Japanese researchers linked “muscle-strengthening activities” to a 15% lower risk of dying. Resistance exercise was also linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (17%), cancer (12%), and diabetes (17%)…
For longevity, strength training seems to be especially effective for older adults, says Tufts University professor Roger Fielding, PhD, who’s been studying the role of exercise in the aging process since the early 1990s…
The maximum longevity benefit comes from one or two resistance exercise sessions a week totaling 30 to 60 minutes.

I got motivated. I changed my morning coffee routine to include a few minutes of resistance work. My habit of going to the Y for resistance work ended shortly after Covid hit our shores. Since then I’ve accumulated some free weights and a couple of resistance bands. I used to have a smaller band that snapped during an exercise session and no it didn’t hurt (much). Recently I bought some ankle weights for my soon to be copyrighted Old Man Chair Leg Lift routine. Now I can replicate all of the exercises I used to do at the gym. With the convenience of working from home and not having to get out to the Y hopefully I can maintain this new routine and turn it into a habit.
Of course I converted “one or two resistance exercise sessions a week totaling 30 to 60 minutes” to 12 minutes a day, five days a week.
Boom.
Remember it’s not just about diet and BMI. But since you asked…
Still 200 pounds less than my max.
It’s a three day weekend. Maybe I’ll work on my Future Best Seller.

Can you describe your routine in detail? It sounds like a very good approach.
Seated row, bent over rolls, lat pull-down, front pull-down, chest press, overhead press, back fly, shoulder press – resistance band with handles.
Lateral raises, bicep curls, one armed dumbbell rows – light free weights
Seated leg curls – ankle weights
What is a bent over a roll? And how do you set up the resistance bands? I’m not sure exactly what they would attach to. Do you have any pictures? Thank you so much!
I’ll take this conversation to email. Will send comments and pictures later.
Thank you!
Your bum post entitled the set up will not load.

I’m not sure what I was saying. I believe it was your post entitled the set up will not load.
