Age Better with Liz Earle
Liz Earle
I'm on a mission to change the conversation around ageing. Women's health – particularly as we age – has been underfunded and overlooked for far too long. And frankly, it's time we pushed back.
Through this podcast, I want to share the knowledge and tools that can help you thrive in later life by taking action today. Because here's what I've learned: decline isn't inevitable. And when we understand what our bodies truly need, we really can age better.

Listen to the last episode:
Exercise is vital for maintaining strength, independence and vitality well into our later years, but it's easy to lose your fitness mojo in midlife. Personal trainer Elizabeth Davies joins Liz to talk about the power of movement – and easy ways to get started.
They discuss how fitness has been marketed as a way to lose weight or build a ‘summer body’, and why the focus should be on being strong, not skinny.
Elizabeth also explains the importance of midlife fitness for heart and bone health, tips for navigating pelvic floor weakness and how to save time by cutting your workout in half.
In this episode:
· The importance of training for our later years
· How much cardio we really need
· Protecting heart and bone health
· How to exercise with pelvic floor weakness
· Do we need to lift heavy weights?
· Ways to cut your training session in half
