We all know that we SHOULD be strength training as we age.
But how much is enough?
How do you find that blend between building muscle and strength, without losing mobility?
And how do you keep lifting WITHOUT breaking your body down in the process?
If these sound like questions you're asking yourself, you need to get Strong for Life.
Now more than ever, we know that strength is a key component of physical fitness.
While endurance and conditioning are absolutely critical for longevity, you also need strength if you want to be active, healthy, and functional as you age.
But here’s the thing…you can’t take a program that works for a 20-year-old and expect it to work the same if you're 40-, 50-, 60-years-old!
Instead, you need to modify every element of the workout – from the exercises you choose, to the training frequency, and everything in between.
But here's another question you have to ask yourself...
How do you develop or maintain strength and muscle, without robbing your body of its mobility?
Strength with mobility is the real “secret sauce,” and something we’re going to work on extensively in this program.
Whether it's the exercises I prescribe, the cues that I give you, or how I warm you up, Strong for Life is going to make sure you're moving and feeling better than you have in years!
