The word weight training can still conjure images of Mr Universe competitions but have spent most of my time as personal trainer guiding people trough these misconceptions and reminding people of the huge benefits that can be gained from increase muscle mass.
Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass due to aging so the importance of resistance training has been proven to support good posture, injury prevention, burn more calories at rest, protect joints and even help our bones from osteoporosis so the argument for lifting weights as we get older is a winning one. This would be a simple session containing a small number of exercises with plenty of rest between each station.
Join Toby in the foyer 10 minutes before the session.
