Setting aside fleeting trends and unproven “longevity hacks,” Live Long is returning to the fundamentals. In a new 20-part series, Move for Life, the focus is on movement and strength training — the cornerstone of healthy aging. Hosted by Peter Bowes, with Florida-based trainers Shebah Carfagna and Nate Wilkins of The Ageless Workout, these concise, evidence-driven conversations explore proven methods to preserve muscle mass, maintain independence, and reduce frailty in later life.

The series also examines strength training’s broader benefits, from boosting metabolism and bone density to enhancing cognitive function and social engagement. Listeners will find practical, actionable guidance — from safe starting points and progressive routines, to understanding the role of rest and recovery. Topics will include distinguishing normal exertion from pain, avoiding injury, and developing sustainable, lifelong habits.

As always, beginning a new exercise program should be undertaken with medical clearance, following a consultation with your physician.
