In today's episode, Rebecca and I discuss strength training for the mature lifter, the lifter in his/her 60's, 70's, 80's and yes, 90's!! You are never too old to begin a strength training program. You just need to START.

In today's episode, Rebecca and I return to the topic of pain and how we work with our clients when they have concerns about an injury.

In today's episode, Rebecca and I discuss how we help our clients return to training after an illness or during/after and injury. There are differences in how we approach training after sickness and injuries.

In today's episode, Rebecca and I discuss the Charm City Strongwoman Contest, the who, what, when, where and why. I have been running this contest for 13 years, as long as I have owned the gym. It has been a staple of my gym and a way to keep my sister's memory alive. The Ulman Foundation had a real impact on my sister's life and ours. It is an important organization that more people need to learn about.
