The Right Dose: How Much Strength Training Do Older Adults Need? Episode 004 Live Q&A
Join me for the first live Q&A episode of The Never Too Old to Lift podcast! In this episode, I answer important questions for older adults looking to start their strength training journey.
Topics related to strength training as an older adult are:
- How many days per week older adults should be working out (and why more isn’t always better)
- Realistic strength goals and equipment choices for home training
- Safe techniques for handling heavier weights as you progress
- When (and if) you should consider using a lifting belt
Perfect for beginners and those in the early stages of strength training, this Q&A provides practical, evidence-based advice tailored specifically for older adults. I explain the minimal effective dose for building strength, how to progress safely, and when to consider transitioning from home workouts to a gym setting.
Don’t miss the announcement of my free masterclass and the launch of the first three episodes of The Never Too Old to Lift podcast, including an in-depth nutrition interview with sports nutritionist Catriona Courtney.
New live Q&A sessions will be held on the first Wednesday of each month at 12:00 PM London time.
