About this episode
I hope you don’t know this from experience but there are common injuries after 40 that we can help you fix. The right trainer and program helps you avoid them, the wrong trainer may lead you to them. To clarify, exercise doesn’t always cause injury but it can make you very aware that you began a program with existing imbalances, and your “balanced program” rushed you to greater imbalances instead of getting you the results you wanted. In this episode with a favorite guest we share some insights, definitely not intended to scare you but to empower you and give you what I think will be an “aha moment” about what you really want. Join us as we discuss common injuries after 40. My Guest: A pain-free life. It’s what we all strive for. But let me tell you a proven fact.
