Plenty of people put in their treadmill minutes and still feel like walking takes more effort than it should. The legs feel heavy on inclines, or the stride starts to shorten after a few minutes. That usually points to strength as much as stamina. When I coach clients over 65, I look at what supports […]
Staying lean and strong after 60 comes down to doing the right work often enough to keep your body moving well.

If you follow online fitness influencers, you may have noticed that lunges and their many variations are go-to exercises in nearly every lower-body workout.

This condition is known as sarcopenia and it starts in your 30s, and tends to accelerate in your 60s. Fortunately, research shows your muscle can respond to consistent resistance training at any age.
