Are You Too Old or Too Young for Resistance Training? The Myths Busted - Episode 121

Resistance training isn't just for young athletes — it's essential for everyone, from kids to older adults. In this episode, I bust the biggest myths around age and strength training and explain why resistance training becomes more important with every year that passes. From the age of 25 onwards: • Metabolism naturally decreases • Bone density decreases • Muscle mass decreases • Hormone levels decline These are biological facts — but the consequences are optional. Middle-age spread is NOT “inevitable.” It’s the result of modern sedentary lifestyles and failing to counteract the realities of aging. In this episode, I break down: ➡️ Why kids absolutely CAN safely resistance train ➡️ Why older adults urgently need strength training ➡️ The safest ways for all age groups to get started ➡️ Simple, practical resistance training tips ➡️ How building muscle protects your long-term health, mobility and confidence ➡️ The lifestyle truths most people avoid when it comes to ageing If you want to stay strong, healthy, independent and energetic — at ANY age — this episode is for you. 👉
