We're not 20 anymore.

Our bodies have been through LIFE, and that means that most of us have some area of our bodies that don't work quite so perfectly anymore.

😬 Maybe it's a cranky knee.

😬 Maybe you have arthritis in your joints.

😬 Or maybe you've got a recent injury.

Those do not need to stop you from lifting weights and keeping your body strong and fit.

In episode #72, I share what training with injuries and age-related wear-and-tear is like, and how you can modify your training to accommodate your limitations so you can keep lifting.
