@honestchannel: It's hard to overstate the transformation in my mum through strength training. In just under two years, everything has changed for her - including her outlook on life. She has gone from facing inevitable decline and increasing frailty at 81, to becoming more capable, able to walk further and faster unsupported, finding daily tasks easier, becoming more expressive, happier and out of pain, and, yes, even her skin has improved at 83. My dad has noticed improvements in his joints, capability, speed and skin too. We all need to strength train. It really is as simple as that. You can watch our latest episode in the Rebuilding Mum and Dad series and find information on how to start your strength journey on my website honest.scot To never miss an update, sign up to my newsletter using the link in my profile or the bottom of any page on my website. #strength #rebuildingmumanddad #healthyageing #strengthtraining

I have no idea about lifting weights but 30kg bench press for an 84 year old. That's a lot, right?

Her face is glowing like she’s half her age?!?! What else is she doing? protein, collagen, creatine?

Generations of women were told that lifting would make us big and unfeminine. The former is incorrect and the latter - my femininity is not dependent on the male gaze 😂 But being strong means we don't grow frail.

She looks amazing. How did her skin improve so much? What else is she doing as strength training surely can improve your skin this much can it?

This is incredible. I’m currently watching my Nan slowly give up and lose her mobility. It’s so frustrating and sad to see, knowing it doesn’t have to be that way but you can’t make someone do something they don’t want to do 🥺

Omg THIS is the push I needed. My husband has been on me to start strength training & I am so not interested. But as a 58 year old perimenopausal woman whose already had a hip replaced I know I need to. Now seeing your mom’s success I’m definitely good to start tomorrow. Thank you 😊

the decline into old age is sold to us by capitalism through skin care, poor food, and stagnation old people you do not need to go gentle into that good night

Love seeing your mum‘s improvement! I’m currently sick with RA. I am Young and I really want to get into weight training but I’m too ill at the moment. This is a great encouragement ✨

Amazing.They say you should never let an old woman move in to your body but I think you've let a young woman move in to your body 🤣

I send some videos to my parents on how muscle mass is linked to being able to heal from simple injuries like breaking a hip at 80, and how people in their 60s can still start building that muscle mass. Apparently you can even still do it in your 80s. Anyways my dad has been in the gym every day, and my mom a lot too. I love my parents

It’s not just strength training. It any movement. Walk up hills. Carry groceries. Be active.
