We are shifting gears a bit and talking about our health and body and how strength training is actually the best thing you can do to keep your body from breaking down as you get older.
My guest today is Chris Tiley, a physiotherapist based in Birmingham, England, and he is a big proponent of helping people, particularly those over 60 years of age, regain their strength and mobility.
As the founder of Never Too Old To Lift, he is passionate about introducing strength training to those who never thought they could do it.
Don’t think this episode isn’t for you, though.
Strength training is for everyone: over 60, in your 20s, the non-athlete, the fit, the couch potato; no matter where you are physically, you can improve your strength, mobility, and health by lifting some heavy stuff – in a controlled and gradual way, of course.
Chris and I are here to encourage you and give you a little foundation and proof of why it works and why you can absolutely benefit too.
I have some other podcasts related to your body, health, and nutrition. Check out:
Episode 21: The out-of-the-box guide to fitness. Andrew Takata talks about how fitness is within everyone’s reach.
Episode 13 talks about fat fitness and food with personal trainers Tim and Judy Avelos.
And in Episode 31, registered dietician, David Orozco, talks about intuitive eating and the anti-diet.
