#1 = Strength Training is Dangerous Especially as You Age. False! Truth be told it’s one of the safest forms of activity you can be involved in at any age. My mother-in-law would always worry when my kid’s strength trained that they were going to get hurt. She never seemed to say anything when they played soccer, baseball, or football. In fact, my son broke his leg playing football. None of my kids or my parents have been hurt lifting weights and strength training. Statistica
