To strengthen your muscles, you need to lift, push, or pull weight. Stronger muscles can make it easier to do everyday things like get up from a chair, climb stairs, carry groceries, open jars, participate in sports/recreation, and even play with your grandchildren. Lower-body strength exercises also will improve your balance.
