I discovered weightlifting when I was 38 and I am now 71. I loved everything about it and became stronger and more sculpted. Fast forward to age 65 and a multitude of soft-tissue injuries. I learned the hard way that as we age, our tissues don’t respond to stress the same as they did 20-30 years ago.

At a loss for what I could do safely, an online friend recommended band work and she followed the RBT program. I took the plunge and am glad I did. Full disclosure, those bands sat idle for a few months until I could safely use them, after a second rotator cuff surgery. I ate a little humble pie to come to terms with my new reality of giving up the iron and finally began the band work. What I appreciated so much was how strong I felt once again. I could do strength work without pain and without worry of tearing something again. If you are on the fence, take a leap of faith. You’ll be glad you did.
