I am constantly getting questions from my community about what my workout routine looks like, so in this episode, I’m laying it all out for you! I turned 60 this year and I trained for my birthday. It was and is important to me to work hard to be the strongest and fittest I have ever been. And you know what? It’s working! I’ve never felt better in my life than I do at 60, and I want to share the strategies I’m using with you so you can move into the next phase of your life feeling strong and full of vitality. In today’s episode, I explain why you MUST build muscle to promote healthy aging, the types of training you need to incorporate into your workout routine, how to measure progress, the foods and supplements that will get you the best results, and more. I’m even giving you a template for the perfect strength training workout, and my favorite self-care practices that will amplify your results. Following the recommendations I’m laying out in this episode could help add years to life—don’t miss it!
