Stronger with Age: Strength Training for Boomers with Caylee Alzner
In this energizing episode, Barb welcomes certified personal trainer and strength coach Caylee Alzner to talk about one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging: strength training. Caylee breaks down the myths around lifting weights later in life and introduces the key principle of progressive overload—a method that helps build strength, improve mobility, and maintain independence as we age.
Tailored specifically for Boomers, this conversation explores why it's never too late to get strong, how to get started safely, and the long-term benefits of adding resistance training to your routine. Whether you're a beginner or looking to level up your workouts, Caylee offers encouraging, no-nonsense advice that could change the way you move through the next chapter of life.
