How anyone can get strong - even you
Manage episode 406345284 series 5385
A group of 90 year olds started lifting weights for eight weeks and more than doubled their strength. Imagine what you could do! We’ve long been told the key to getting healthy is losing weight, but more and more research shows gaining something- muscles- could be just as beneficial. Why is building muscle so helpful for fighting disease and how can you start doing it?
Guests:
Dr Gabrielle Lyon, Functional medicine practitioner and author of Forever Strong: The New Science Based strategy for Aging Well
Associate professor David Scott, Exercise scientist, Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition at Deakin University
