Claire talks to Chris about his approach to training older clients and how important it is to focus on training that makes a real difference to everyday life. Chris explains how he builds a session for clients in their 60s up to their 90s. He uses a small amount of heavy strength work, power training and reaction drills, with warm-ups that double as screening. They also cover why getting up off the floor matters as much as preventing falls, and how to get clients to buy in to new ideas. Plus, why the industry needs to "normalise normal."

If you're a trainer working with older adults, or will be soon, this one's for you.
