    Why Adults Over 50 in Rochester, NY Are Choosing Strength Training Over Cardio Alone

    For decades, adults over 50 were told that walking or riding a stationary bike was all they needed for exercise. While cardiovascular health is important, cardio alone cannot stop sarcopenia (muscle loss) or osteopenia (bone loss).
