Recap: The importance of lifting weights in your later years | Dr. Brad Schoenfeld
Today we’re talking about resistance training.
When we think of exercising in our 70s and 80s, we often focus on gentle activities like walking or swimming some lengths in a pool. However, are we overlooking a crucial part of the fitness puzzle? Something that could truly transform our later years: Strength training.
Because as we age, muscle loss isn’t just about losing tone - it’s about losing independence.
Dr. Brad Schoenfeld joins me to share how resistance training can preserve strength, improve mobility, and support a long and active life. Whether you’ve got five minutes or fifty, he’ll show you how to get started - no gym membership required.
