Getting Started with Strength Training After 60 (Live Recording) - Episode 57
🎙️ Episode 57:
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
