Today we’re talking about resistance training.
When we think of exercising in our 70s and 80s, we often focus on gentle activities like walking or swimming some lengths in a pool. However, are we overlooking a crucial part of the fitness puzzle? Something that could truly transform our later years: Strength training.
Because as we age, muscle loss isn’t just about losing tone - it’s about losing independence.
Dr. Brad Schoenfeld joins me to share how resistance training can preserve strength, improve mobility, and support a long and active life. Whether you’ve got five minutes or fifty, he’ll show you how to get started - no gym membership required.
