I wrote STRONGER because I believe we all have the potential to enjoy an older age defined by health, happiness and independence.
I have spent decades advising patients and supporting government initiatives on healthy ageing and know that one activity above all others can make the difference to your future health:
Strength training.
In STRONGER I bring together the latest scientific research to explain why strength training in midlife is the simplest and cheapest thing you can do to transform your body. It reinforces your muscles and bones, enhances your nervous system, boosts your immunity and ultimately paves the way to a better future.
With dynamic illustrations and habit-building hacks tailored to you, Stronger unveils the ten key movements you need to fortify your body and embark on your journey towards a stronger and healthier life.
Anyone can improve their strength and even a few minutes a day will help us in the long term!
'Strength is like a pension, the sooner you start investing the better our older age health will be'
I warmly invite you to start investing!
