From Health Scare to Medication Free: Starting Strength Training at 62 - Ep 010

🎙️ Episode 10: In this inspiring episode of the Never Too Old to Lift podcast, host Chris welcomes Kim, who began her strength training journey at age 62. 

After years of avoiding weights due to fears of "getting bulky," Kim shares how a health scare and the inability to pull herself back into a boat while on holiday motivated her to build strength.

Kim details her remarkable 12-week transformation using simple home equipment—plastic weights and resistance bands—and how strength training has dramatically improved her quality of life. 

From being able to do proper push-ups for the first time in her life to confidently playing with her grandchildren on a trampoline, Kim's story showcases the life-changing benefits of strength training at any age.

The conversation explores how Kim's new strength helped her overcome everyday challenges like opening jars and climbing hills, while also discussing the positive changes to her nutrition that complemented her fitness journey. 

Now medication-free and feeling years younger, Kim offers encouragement to listeners who might think they're "too old" to start strength training.

This episode is perfect for anyone looking for motivation to begin their own fitness journey, particularly those in their 60s or beyond who may feel hesitant about trying something new.

Listen to learn how making small, consistent changes can lead to significant improvements in strength, confidence, and overall wellbeing—no matter your age.
