Why Strength Training Is Essential As You Age
Strength training isn't just about building muscle or looking fitter, it's one of the best things you can do for your long-term health.
In this episode, Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey look at why muscle plays a crucial role in everything from metabolism and blood sugar control to heart health, bone strength and healthy ageing. They discuss whether it's ever too late to start exercising, how to build strength without setting foot in a gym, the role of protein, why menopause can change body composition, and the three types of exercise everyone should be doing.
