Welcome to Episode 11 of the Movement Logic Podcast! In this episode, Sarah debunks the commonly held beliefs around aging, strength loss, and frailty, where these beliefs come from, and what we should be doing for people 65+ instead (spoiler: once again, strength training FTW).

• What is the narrative around falling and why do people become so afraid of it
• How the fear of falling creates a self-fulfilling prophecy around age-related decline in physical performance
• When does muscle mass loss start as part of the aging process
• How strength training improves not just muscle mass but many other aspects of performance including balance
