Never Too Old to Lift with Chris Tiley, Physiotherapist and Strength Expert. S7. Ep 11.

Can you open a jar or do you have to ask someone? Do you carry heavy bags easily or do you expect other people to do the heavy lifting? How physically strong are you? That’s a very important question for women in mid and later life, because the stronger you are, the better your health will be on a number of different levels. The evidence base is clear – people who lift heavy weights have a much lower risk of the various chronic health issues that we need to take seriously as we get a bit older. The great news is that it’s never too late to start, and today’s episode very much champions this notion – I’m chatting to physiotherapist, author and strength expert Chris Tiley, who’s the founder of Never Too Old To Lift, a fabulous website and podcast full of excellent resources. With a background in British ParaSnowSport, Chris has built on his expertise to create Never Too Old To Lift to introduce strength training to people who never thought they’d be able to do it and to inspire them to take their first steps on their journey to strength. It’s an empowering and insightful chat and I guarantee it’ll make you want to get started! And if you want to make sure you’re fuelling yourself correctly at the same time, the 14-day energy booster programme in my book The Happy Menopause Guide to Energy will get you on the right track for your strength programme. It’s available in all the usual places. If you’ve found this episode helpful, please do share it with a friend who might benefit.
