Spanish-Language Outlets Share Practical Strength Plans for Adults 60 and Older

New articles translate expert advice into brief, twice‑weekly routines with warm‑ups, gradual progression and simple home exercises, adding balance and flexibility after 70.

Overview

  • Guidance from the European School of Sport calls for two to three strength sessions per week lasting 30–45 minutes, with rest days between workouts.
  • Recommended tools are light dumbbells, resistance bands or bodyweight, with movements such as squats, wall push‑ups, heel raises, band rows and chair‑assisted variations.
  • Sessions start with about 10 minutes of easy activity to warm up, progress gradually in difficulty and pause or reduce intensity if pain or discomfort appears.
  • For people over 70, an integrated plan pairs strength work with balance practice and flexibility or mobility training, with options like single‑leg stands, controlled direction changes, yoga or tai chi.
  • Coverage from Faro de Vigo, LA NACION, Ámbito and Los Andes converges on home‑friendly routines, and some pieces note that protein‑rich diets can support muscle maintenance.
