This episode is a bit different, it's the audio from a free live session I ran called Getting Started with Strength Training After 60. Most of it translates well to audio, and there's a short section partway through where I'm demonstrating exercises on screen, I describe what I'm doing as I go, but if you'd like to see the video, it's linked below.
In this session I cover:
Why strength training matters more as we get older, not less, and how few of us are actually meeting the guidelines
The most common objections to getting started, and how to work through them
How Phil, a patient of mine, started strength training at 76 with no gym background and no formal exercise history
How Jan found what strength training gave her that yoga and tennis couldn't
What muscle strength actually is, and how to know if an exercise is building it
How to choose exercises, stay consistent, and progress safely over time
Live listener questions, answered as they came in
