I had a rare opportunity to interview a longtime practitioner and evidence based trainer Ester Lampreave and her daughter Julia. It was unique to have the perspective of training past your 40s and someone younger going to turn 18. An insight of how the usage of resistance training is applied in both older and younger demographics give perspective of how beneficial strength can be. The fact that we have people internationally interested in evidence based training and dose relationship approach to exercise, even in Spain, I find astonishing. Perhaps a global movement of having people do resistance training for health could indeed be the future.
