Do you feel like you're just "not a gym person"? You're not alone. Many adults over 50 believe that strength training isn't for someone like them - that they've left it too late, or that lifting weights is only for the young and already-fit. Never Too Old to Lift exists to change that belief.
Hosted by Chris Tiley, a physiotherapist with 15+ years of experience, this podcast shows you that strength training is not only possible at any age, it's essential for maintaining independence, confidence, and quality of life as you get older.
Each week, Chris shares practical, safe guidance on building strength specifically designed for older adults. You'll learn how to adapt exercises around your limitations, start safely from scratch, and build a sustainable strength training routine that works for your body and your life.
Whether you're worried about injury, overwhelmed by conflicting fitness advice, or simply don't know where to start, this podcast will help you take that first step.
You'll discover:
- How to start strength training safely, even if you've never lifted weights before
- Exercise adaptations for common conditions like arthritis, back pain, and joint issues
- Real stories from people over 50 who overcame their fears and got stronger
- Practical advice from expert guests, including physiotherapists, nutritionists, and strength coaches
- Simple progressions that help you build confidence while building strength
Strength training isn't just about building muscle; it's about staying independent, playing with your grandchildren, maintaining your garden, and living life on your terms.
You're never too old to get stronger.
