πŸŽ™οΈ Episode 4 – Join Chris, a physiotherapist, for the first live Q&A episode of The Never Too Old to Lift podcast! In this episode, Chris answers important questions for older adults looking to start their strength training journey. Get expert advice on:

- How many days per week you should be working out (and why more isn't always better) 
- Realistic strength goals and equipment choices for home training 
- Safe techniques for handling heavier weights as you progress 
- When (and if) you should consider using a lifting belt

Perfect for beginners and those in the early stages of strength training, this Q&A provides practical, evidence-based advice tailored specifically for older adults. 

Chris explains the minimal effective dose for building strength, how to progress safely, and when to consider transitioning from home workouts to a gym setting.

Don't miss the announcement of Chris's free masterclass and the launch of the first three episodes of The Never Too Old to Lift podcast, including an in-depth nutrition interview with sports nutritionist Catriona Courtney.

New live Q&A sessions will be held on the first Wednesday of each month at 12:00 PM London time.
