Book ID/图书代码: 06580025C00012
English Summary/英文概要: Did you know that muscle mass decreases approximately 3-8% per decade after the age of 30 for both men and women, unless we act to mitigate it? Or that osteoporosis affects one in three women over the age of 50 worldwide, an estimated 200 million women in total? Or that coronary heart disease, the main cause of heart attacks, was the single biggest killer of women worldwide in 2019?
For too long, social media and the fitness industry has prioritised aesthetics over our health, leaving us with a difficult relationship with exercise and body image while surrounded by an influx of misinformation. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, or worse, give up on your fitness journey altogether...
Introducing Training For Your Old Lady Body: an honest, no bullsh*t guide to help women (re)frame exercise as a way of safeguarding our quality of life into older age; moving our bodies now in a way which sets us up to stay strong, active, independent and resilient as we grow older. This is not a six-week bikini body transformation, this a way of training for life.
