This week, Michael Dermansky sits down with David Smith, Co-founder and Director of Absolute Health Performance, for an insightful discussion on the importance of strength training in your 50s and beyond—why it’s essential, how to do it safely, and the long-term benefits for muscle mass, power, and bone density.
David explains why simply walking or doing light exercises isn’t enough to maintain strength as we age. Together, they break down the key components of an effective program, including structured strength training, sprint work, and jumping exercises to support lifelong confidence and mobility. They also discuss the role of professional guidance in creating a safe, progressive routine tailored to individual goals.
Let’s take control of our strength and longevity!
