Is it ok for a 47 year old to start lifting weight? is it healthy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is okay: It is fine to start lifting weights at any age. First check with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you personally. Then work with a trainer so that you start slowly and build up gradually. You can hurt yourself with weights if you do not start up a program properly. Good luck.
