047 Stop Resisting Resistance Training with Heather Lock

Creating Active Lives

In this week's episode I am talking with Heather Lock all about resistance training.
We discuss:

• why resistance training is important especially for women
• the reasons women resist this kind of training
• how to add resistance training into your daily routine
• why it's never too late to start and make a difference to your health

Moving away from the scales and focussing on strength can be challenging for some but hopefully hearing Heather discuss the benefits of resistance training will support you to give it a try.

About Heather:
Heather Lock helps women over 40 take back control of their health and happiness. She understands that as we age, our bodies undergo many changes, and it can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to improving our fitness and nutrition. Her approach is based on resistance training as it is a vital aspect of overall health and well-being for women as they age yet it can be intimidating for those who have never done this.

Heather knows that for many women, looking and feeling fabulous seems like an impossible feat, but just 20 minutes a day, can provide quick improvements with fat loss, muscle tone and mental happiness. She also provides nutrition guidance to ensure women are fuelling their bodies with the right foods to support health.

Heather’s programme is not just about losing weight, but about feeling confident and strong in mind and body. She supports and guides women in making sustainable lifestyle changes that will have them looking and feeling fabulous. Women ready to commit to themselves and their health can join Heather and start their journey towards a happier, healthier life!
