91 : Can Lifting Weights Actually Help You Live Longer? The Science Says Yes

Before we go into this, can I ask you, you said you train a mother and daughter.

What's the ages there, roughly?

40, the daughter.

59 is the mum.

These are grown females.

Are

they both then interested with this study?

Yeah, well, this chat that we had came about because the daughter said that she was chatting to her husband this morning about training because she was coming to see me today and they were both saying, her and her husband, how you train and how you treat your body in this era that you're in now has a direct reflection on where you'll be in your next era and then I followed that up with I very much believe and have seen over the years that how you take care of yourself in one decade is a clue to how your body will treat you in the next

Super interesting, because I would say they're prime age to be thinking about that.

Because longevity isn't important for everybody, is it? Let's be clear.

If you'd said it was a 13-year-old and even a 30-year-old mother and daughter, I'd be interested to know if that topic was as important.

Because I think it would go over my head if I was in my 20s.

I wouldn't really care.

I'm not thinking about lifting weights to live longer.

I'm just thinking about, do I look sexy as hell right now? Right.

With my flexi guns.

But now I'm in my 40s.

You're also with me now.

Welcome to the 40 Club.

I'm very interested in that.

And it came up here.

And the reason we both sort of sent it to each other was my clients were exactly the same.

We have a lot of 40 year olds, 50 year olds and above who are seeing this.

It was on the BBC.

So it's in their eyes.
