About this listen
In this episode, I share a story from my years as a personal trainer that completely changed how I approach fitness — especially for clients over 50. What started as a routine session quickly turned into a wake-up call about how easily things can go wrong.
It got me thinking: are we being too cautious… or not cautious enough when it comes to training as we age? I get into the confusing world of fitness advice for older adults — from overly gentle, almost comical routines to high-intensity programs that ignore real limitations.
You'll hear what the science actually says about strength and aging, and how to find that “sweet spot” where progress happens safely.
