I am joined in the episode by the wonderful Michele Griffin. Michele is an online coach and PT based in New Zealand. Michele kindly got out of bed super early on her side of the globe to discuss with me the benefits of exercise as we age. Admitting that we are getting older is tough for a lot of people, the media still pushes this narrative that you have to be young to be beautiful and thrive. Michele and I are here to debunk that nonsense! Yes, our bodies change, and it can be a real eye opener that we start to lose muscle mass and bone density as early as in our 30s. However, exercise, particularly strength training is one of the most effective ways to negate or slow down the signs of ageing. You really have the power to start doing something right now that can massively increases your chances of living a strong, healthy and independant life for a long time to come. Ageing can be challenging, but you can 100% thrive. You can be one of those awe inspiring 80 year olds still climbing mountains, but, you need to start working now. Look after yourself, embrace the changes and set yourself up to thrive for many years to come.
