It's well reported that some strength training is optimal as you age for longevity & lowering health risks.

No one needs to be a power lifter, but there's definitely benefits to everyone having some lifting (or other strength training) in their life. |
Agreed, I'm not into lifting but certainly see the benefits if that's your thing. In general, if you're not getting yourself off the couch and doing 60 mins of exercise 3-4 times a week you're doing yourself a disservice.
Out of shape people do not age well, you want to be able to run your own errands later in life you might want to invest in your future now.
