Need some inspiration to get started with strength training? Personal trainer Kate Oakley joins Liz to explain why building strength is something we can start at any age, and why it’s one of the best things we can do to support muscle and bone health as we get older, keeping us independent for longer.
They discuss how training can boost your mood and resilience as well as physical strength, why you don't need equipment or weights and how even a 10-minute workout counts.
Kate also talks about the importance of a progressive routine and shares easy ways to get started, from simple bodyweight exercises to sneaking ‘strength snacks’ into your day.
