In this episode, we sit down with Chris Wilson from Critical Bench to discuss the importance of training and exercising for the older population, specifically those aged 60 years and older. As we age, our bodies undergo many changes, including a decrease in muscle mass and a decline in neuromuscular control. These changes can lead to an increased risk of falls and other injuries, as well as a decline in overall quality of life.

Chris emphasizes the importance of changing how we move in order to help improve our neuromuscular control and prevent injury. He shares practical tips and exercises to help older adults move better, including the use of resistance bands, balance exercises, and bodyweight movements. By incorporating these exercises into a regular training routine, older adults can improve their strength, balance, and overall quality of life.

Whether you're an older adult looking to improve your mobility and stay active, or a fitness professional looking to work with this population, this episode is packed with valuable information and practical tips for training and exercising in the later years of life. Tune in to learn more about how to help older adults move better and enjoy life to the fullest as they age.
