How to Start Strength Training as an Older Adult - Presentation Recording

During the presentation, I covered everything from:

How often you should be doing strength training and how many of us are actually meeting the guidelines.
Recognising that you probably have objections to starting and I challenged each of these objections to reassure you that they are not reasons to avoid beginning your strength training journey.
I introduced you to other people who had the same objections that you might have and how they overcame them. Not only did it not stop them from starting, but we also heard how they now feel less pain and have more energy than they did before.
How important the process of goal planning is, so that you keep your motivation to continue working out when things start to feel difficult.
That choosing which exercises to include in your program isn’t as important as the intensity at which you perform those exercises.
How to progress your workouts when they begin to feel easy and why it is so important to continue to challenge yourself as you move forward.
I gave some information on the Stronger for Life online course, which I have discounted the price for the next week (details at the end of this email).
