Episode 4: Benefits of Weight Lifting and Resistance Training

Are you lifting weights above your head? If not, why you should be? How much should you be doing? What muscle groups should you be training? Why is this even more important as you get older? Lots of good questions.
 
If you don't use them you lose them. Muscles that are.  Sarcopenia is a condition that results in muscle loss and is driven by age. Lifting weights or resistance training can help avoid sarcopenia, and even help grow muscle mass. But the key is also avoiding injury.  Listen to find out more or visit oldbullhealth.com. 

 

Hosts

Jeremy (Jem) Bolt and Donny Singe talk about the "big" issues, mainly for men in their Short, Sharp, and Fitness podcast. Sponsored by Old Bull health. (www.oldbullhealth.com)

 

Jem brings a corporate and part-time, "I'm doing my best here" health perspective, while Donny brings professional experience and anecdotes from 32 years of elite performance coaching. This combination brings an entertaining, and at times challenging mix of humour, facts that will make for interesting dinner conversation, and hopefully and most importantly some key takeaways to support your own health and well-being objectives.

Stuff You Should Know
Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
