Use It or Lose It: Why Strength Matters as You Age - The Willetts Podcast | Lyssna här

In this episode, we talk about what it means to be capable, and more importantly, how to remain capable as you age. Strength isn't just about how much you can lift or how you look. It's about maintaining your independence, staying active, and being able to participate in the life you want for as long as possible. We discuss why playing the long game matters, how to build a sustainable routine, and why it's never too late to start, even if you're working around injuries, limitations, or a long break from exercise. The goal isn't to be perfect. It's to keep building and maintaining the physical capacity that allows you to live your life.

We talk about:

-maintaining strength as you age

-the most important benefit of strength training

-playing the long game

-staying active with your kids or grandkids

-it’s okay to be a beginner
