At Results Personal Training in Cinco Ranch and Katy, TX, we work with adults 45 and older every day—and we get some great questions. Whether you're thinking about getting back into shape or optimizing your health for the long haul, here are a few of the most common concerns we hear… and our straight-up answers.
Feel free to send us your own! We're always happy to talk.
Q: Will lifting weights make me big and bulky?
A: Nope. Not even close.
We hear this one a lot—especially from women. But let’s be clear: getting “big and bulky” takes years of hardcore training, an insane level of consistency, and usually a surplus of calories and specific supplementation. Even most young guys struggle to put on that kind of size.
For our 50+ clients in Katy and Cinco Ranch, strength training is all about preserving and rebuilding muscle that naturally declines with age. Why’s that important?
You’ll be stronger for daily activities—like bringing in groceries, walking upstairs, or picking up grandkids.
You’ll reduce your risk of falling.
You’ll boost your bone density, helping prevent fractures and breaks.
So no, lifting won’t turn you into a bodybuilder… but it will help you stay independent, mobile, and strong.
Q: Isn’t walking enough exercise for older adults?
A: Walking is a fantastic start—but it’s not the whole picture.
If you’re walking daily in Cinco Ranch’s trails or through the neighborhoods of Katy, keep going! It’s great for mental health and circulation. But if we’re talking about true longevity and mobility, here’s what your body really needs:
Strength training (2–3x per week)
Vigorous cardio (something that gets your heart rate up—not just a leisurely stroll)
Mobility and agility work (think stretching, balance drills, or even yoga)
We like to think of walking as a base layer. It’s the foundation—but without the rest of the structure, things eventually collapse.
Q: What’s the best kind of exercise for me?
A: Simple answer? The kind you’ll actually do.
At Results Personal Training in Katy, TX, we help men and women over 45 find exercise they enjoy—because if you hate it, you won’t stick with it. Period.
