Personal trainer Caroline Idiens joins Liz on the podcast to reveal why strength training is the secret to stronger bones, healthier joints, and staying mobile well into your later years (and why you don't need a gym to do it).

If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to start lifting weights, or felt intimidated by the gym, Caroline has genuinely exciting news. Strength training isn't about how much you can lift – it's about mimicking everyday movements like getting out of a chair, lifting shopping, or picking yourself up off the floor.

Listen in to learn why 10 minutes is enough to get started, how to stay motivated on dark winter mornings, and the supplements both Liz and Caroline swear by – including creatine for building muscle.
