Show Notes

Jacqueline is a personal trainer in the UK and the founder of Her Garden Gym. You can find her on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/hergardengym/. She has created her business on the pillar of active aging- breaking through all kinds of different stereotypes such as ageism, strength training as you get older, and showing you that it is never too late. 


I recently did an episode with her on instagram live that you can find here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CbYSdIYoLHo/ 


In this episode we talk about: 

  • Why strength training is critical at any age
  • How you learn to adapt training with injuries and with increasing age
  • How she personally approached her recent osteoarthritis diagnosis
  • How to handle the thinking “I can’t do exercise like I used to”
  • One of the biggest challenges her clients face when beginning strength training
