The Crucial Role of Resistance Training as You Age | #9

Welcome back to the Eat, Live, and Move podcast by Miyagi, where our hosts, Dr. Gina and Dr. Ross, bring you insights into the transformative power of resistance training as you age. In this episode, they tackle the myths and unveil the wonders of resistance training. Contrary to popular belief, achieving a toned physique doesn't require endless gym hours. The benefits are vast, from fortifying muscles and boosting metabolism to lowering the risks of chronic diseases. The discussion delves into the crucial battle against the effects of aging. Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are confronted, with resistance exercise emerging as a formidable ally, preserving both muscle and bone health. A notable study is highlighted, revealing that 70% of frailty in older individuals is linked to weakened muscles and bones. Beyond the physical benefits, resistance training is explored for its mental and metabolic gains.  Health takes centre stage at 50 and beyond, with a reminder to prioritise check-ups before starting a fitness journey. Practical advice on initiating resistance training is dispensed, encouraging YOU to find enjoyable activities, set clear goals, and progress gradually.
