In this episode, Dr. Rena Malik, MD sits down with Dr. Layne Norton to explore the benefits of strength training for older adults and the general population. They discuss the remarkable adaptability of the human body at any age and the advantages of starting resistance training later in life. Dr. Norton explains how even frail elderly individuals can make significant muscle gains and improve their functional abilities through progressive overload. The conversation also covers the importance of consistency in exercise, the psychological benefits of focusing on strength, and the balance between comfort and productive discomfort.
