David Vaux, a former London firefighter turned osteopath and academic, draws on his extensive experience to advocate for strength training, particularly for older adults. With degrees in osteopathy and health and exercise science, he's a leading voice in promoting resilience and healthy aging. He also heads therapy and exercise for a major UK arthritis charity and has contributed to public health initiatives. His book, "STRONGER," published by Hachette in July 2024, aims to make strength training accessible to all for better long-term health.


David really makes the case for why strength training is critical as we age, but he also gives people a template for how to get started. If you or someone you know wants to get your strength practice going, this episode is a must listen.
