The only news here is that lots of people, especially older women in my experience, continue to be allergic to lifting weights despite overwhelming medical and anecdotal evidence that it's one of the most potent quality-of-life interventions available.
0.01% of people will have some pre-existing condition that prevents them from lifting. For the other 99.9%, I don't care who you are or what your excuse is. Practice some sort of resistance training and you'll be much fitter, happier and healthier as you age. This goes double for every decade above 20. I wish I could pop a pill that's just as potent as a squat but the facts are the facts are the facts.
