#133 Too old to train?


Listen Later

Have you considered starting some form of resistence training but think you are just too old? Well I'm here to explain to you how that is not the case

As we age we are more prone to things like sarcopenia (degeneration of muscle) and osteoperosis/osteapenia (brittle bones) and you can help manage these condtions with resistance training

Building some muscle can help support arthritus, joint replacements and other pain (excluding nerve damage)

Pain killers are not the answer in most situations

Massage and stretching are just as temporary as painkillers

if you don't use it you lose it

The importance of being able to get up without using your hands

Our clients experience and how resistence training has changed so much for her quality of life

You don't need to be a body builder to make a change

You don't even need a gym to do it

Having structure to a how you train can help you stick to it so if you have joined multiple gyms over the years but never stuck to it, try working with a coach or joining a class
