As our bodies evolve with age, the strategies that once delivered fast wins may not feel so great anymore. What used to energise us can start to leave us feeling sore - it\u2019s important to listen and learn new ways to match your training that will support the body you\u2019re in now. When workouts are designed with recovery, joint health, and sustainability in mind, results will come more consistently too! It doesn\u2019t mean we need to make the workouts \u201ceasier\u201d , it just means we need to think of the bigger picture and how best we can support our bodies going forwards.\u00a0"}
