Azure and Holly talk about why weightlifting matters as we get older and why the scale alone does not tell the full story of health. They discuss body composition, including muscle, bone, fat, and water, and share their experiences with body scans and home scales that showed changes over time.

The two also talk about lifting heavier weights, personal goals, and the need for enough resistance to challenge the body. In addition, they reflect on perimenopause, hormones, hormone replacement therapy, and the mental and spiritual benefits of movement, including how exercise can support confidence and overall well-being.

Happy Canada Day to our Canadian friends & listeners!
