In this episode of Informed Aging, host Robin Rountree speaks with renowned personal trainer and educator Robert Linkul, founder of TrainingTheOlderAdult.com, about why building strength—not just being thin—can significantly impact your longevity, independence, and overall quality of life after age 50.

With over 25 years of experience, Robert breaks down the dangers of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), the link between strength and fall prevention, and how resistance training can help older adults bounce back from injuries and even avoid catastrophic outcomes from falls. He shares how minimal effort—just 20 minutes every other day—can lead to significant improvements in balance, bone density, and daily function.
