Clinical exercise physiologist Marcelle Malan joins us again on the show to share details of her latest educational programme, the Resilient Ageing Project.

Her objective for using this with both clients and fitness professionals, is to provide scientifically proven and evidence based exercise strategies for maintaining cognitive function (including memory, language skills, concentration and reaction time) into older age.

In season 1, Marcelle talked about the application and benefits of exercise for women in perimenopause and menopause.

In this episode, we discuss:

what forms of exercise boost brain health and function, and those that are less effective, to allow us to make more informed choices on our exercise programmes,

the challenges faced by clients living with chronic painful conditions - the role of exercise in managing those conditions,

practical tips for keeping your mind sharp and active into your 70s, 80s and beyond.

Listen in to hear Marcelle's thoughts on the role of communication in the world of exercise.
