Are You Too Old or Too Young for Resistance Training? The Myths Busted - Episode 121
Sat Nov 22 2025
Resistance training isn't just for young athletes — it's essential for everyone, from kids to older adults. In this episode, I bust the biggest myths around age and strength training and explain why resistance training becomes more important with every year that passes.
From the age of 25 onwards:
• Metabolism naturally decreases
• Bone density decreases
• Muscle mass decreases
• Hormone levels decline
These are biological facts — but the consequences are optional. Middle-age spread is NOT “inevitable.” It’s the result of modern sedentary lifestyles and failing to counteract the realities of aging.
In this episode, I break down:
➡️ Why kids absolutely CAN safely resistance train
➡️ Why older adults urgently need strength training
➡️ The safest ways for all age groups to get started
➡️ Simple, practical resistance training tips
➡️ How building muscle protects your long-term health, mobility and confidence
➡️ The lifestyle truths most people avoid when it comes to ageing
If you want to stay strong, healthy, independent and energetic — at ANY age — this episode is for you.
